Future will be much more multipolar: EAM

During a recent session at the Raisina Dialogue, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar emphasized the transition toward a multipolar world, asserting that the dominance of major powers creating extensive spheres of influence is diminishing. He highlighted that no single nation currently holds hegemonic power across multiple domains, marking a significant shift in global dynamics. Jaishankar elaborated that this emerging multipolarity will lead to a more collaborative international landscape, where various regions contribute to different areas of global governance. He pointed out that while larger countries may form temporary alliances on specific issues, the idea of a singular global order dominated by a few superpowers is becoming obsolete. Additionally, he asserted that multipolarity does not contradict multilateralism, as both can coexist to strengthen international cooperation. Notably, India’s initiative in hosting the Voice of Global South meetings over the past three years exemplifies its commitment to fostering a cooperative platform among developing nations. Jaishankar's remarks reflect a broader understanding of the changing geopolitical landscape, advocating for an inclusive approach to global governance that acknowledges the diverse contributions of multiple nations.
