S Jaishankar attended a Ministerial Session titled 바카라South Rising: Partnerships, Institutions and Ideas바카라 hosted by the Observer Research Foundation, in collaboration with the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, United Nations India and the Reliance Foundation.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that this world of double standards is still alive, and those countries which have traditionally had influence are resisting the pressure to change while many such capabilities were weaponized by historical powers.
S Jaishankar was speaking at a Ministerial Session titled 바카라South Rising: Partnerships, Institutions and Ideas바카라 hosted by the Observer Research Foundation, in collaboration with the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, United Nations India and the Reliance Foundation.
바카라I think more than political will, there is political pressure for change," he said in New York on Saturday.
There is a growing sentiment in the world and the global South in a way embodies it. But there's also political resistance, he said.
바카라Those who are occupying positions of influence, we see this in the UN Security Council most of all, are resisting the pressure to change.
"Those who are economically dominant today are leveraging their production capabilities and those who have institutional influence or historical influence have actually weaponised a lot of those capabilities as well,바카라 Jaishankar said.
바카라They will all mouth the right things, but the reality is still today, it's a world very much of double standards," Jaishankar said.
COVID itself was an example of it, he said, "But I think this whole transition will really be in a sense the global South putting more and more pressure on the international system. And, the global North바카라it's not just the North. There are parts which may not think of themselves in the North, but are very resistant to change."
Jaishankar added cultural rebalancing really means recognising the diversity of the world, respecting the diversity of the world, and giving other cultures and other traditions their due respect.
He referred to the G20 Summit in Delhi earlier this month and cited the example of millets. He noted that the global South historically ate less wheat and more millets.
바카라In the name of the market a lot of things are done, like in the name of freedom a lot of things are done,바카라 he said to laughter from the audience.
Respecting others바카라 heritage, tradition, music, literature, and ways of life, this is all part of the change that the global South would like to see, Jaishankar said.
The event was also addressed by India바카라s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj, Reliance Foundation CEO Jagannatha Kumar, UN Resident Coordinator in India Shombi Sharp and ORF President Samir Saran.
Participating in the panel discussion at the event were the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal Joao Gomes Cravinho and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Jamaica, Kamina Johnson Smith.
Jaishankar further said that with a couple of months of India바카라s G20 Presidency still left before Brazil assumes the presidency in December 2023 바카라we will get hopefully something moving on the reform of international financial institutions.바카라
Saran referred to Jaishankar바카라s remark that "Europe's problems are the world's problems but the world's problems are not Europe's problems바카라 and said that some feel that Jaishankar is tough on Europe and if that is a fair assessment.
바카라No no of course not,바카라 Jaishankar said.
Jaishankar added that among the main issues that are troubling the entire world are debt, SDG (Sustainable Development Goal) resourcing, climate action resourcing, digital access, nutrition and gender.
Jaishankar said that partly because of COVID and partly due to the focus on Ukraine, 바카라these subjects were driven out of the global conversations,바카라 and added that 바카라to get actually the G20 to talk about what the world wanted it to talk about - that was a real problem in the G20.바카라
He asserted Prime Minister Narendra Modi put it very well when he said 바카라first let's talk to the people who are not going to be on the table, let바카라s find out what they have to say,바카라 which is why India did the Voice of Global South Summit바카라2023.
Hosting the Voice of Global South Summit gave India 바카라the credentials, actually the empirical basis really to say바카라 that 바카라we've spoken to 125 countries and this is really what is troubling them and that is why we need to focus on these issues.바카라
