Indian Foreign Minister Urges Global South Unity
Addressing the High-Level Meeting of Like-Minded Global South Countries on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Jaishankar emphasized the need for a collective endeavor to reform international institutions like the UN.
“The very concept of multilateralism is under attack,” the Indian foreign minister remarked.
“International organizations are being rendered ineffective or starved of resources.
The building blocks of the contemporary order are starting to come apart. And the cost of delaying much needed reforms is today starkly visible.”
He further noted that in such a situation, “it is natural that the Global South turns to multilateralism for solutions.”
Jaishankar has previously raised similar concerns, observing that there exist “strong sentiments” in the Global South about the inequities of the current international system.
During the New York meeting, the Indian foreign minister presented a structured strategy for the Global South, including coalitions such as BRICS+, to actively participate in addressing global challenges.
