Jaishankar said “What has led to weaker multilateralism? We have seen in the last 20 years an economic rebalancing in the world
New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said countries across the world, including the United States and China, have become more nationalistic today and the phenomenon has resulted in a less multilateral world.
While addressing a panel discussion at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Friday, Jaishankar said that global economic rebalancing has led to a political rebalancing.
Jaishankar said “What has led to weaker multilateralism? We have seen in the last 20 years an economic rebalancing in the world. It was a question of time before the economic rebalancing translated into political rebalancing… If there is going to be political rebalancing then everyone is going to be in a transition era,”.
US Senator Lindsey Graham tried to raise the Kashmir issue he said, “When it comes to Kashmir, I don’t know how it ends, but let us make sure, two democracies will end it differently.“
Jaishankar responded, “don’t you worry senator. One democracy will settle it, and you know which is that!“
Foreign Minister stressed that the United Nations is far less credible today than it has been through its history, “which is not surprising because when you think about it, there are not too many things which are 75 years old and still as good as they were”.”Clearly, there is something that needs to be done there,”.
