Union Home Minister Amit Shah has praised National Security Advisor Ajit Doval for his contribution to India’s foreign policy and national security decision-making. Shah said Doval has played a major part in strengthening the country’s strategic approach on both fronts.

According to Shah, Doval’s role has gone beyond routine advisory work, with the NSA offering important guidance on key matters tied to the Modi government’s security and diplomatic priorities. The remarks underline Doval’s position as one of the central figures shaping India’s strategic outlook.

Shah’s comments also highlight how national security and foreign policy are increasingly being discussed together in India’s policymaking framework. By crediting Doval with helping reinforce both areas, Shah pointed to the close link between security planning and external relations.

The statement adds to the public recognition Doval has received for his behind-the-scenes role in major decisions. It also reflects the government’s view that his advice has been significant in advancing India’s broader foreign policy ambitions and national security objectives.
