G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting LIVE
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday highlighted the flaws in the global decision-making process at the United Nations while addressing the foreign delegates at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (G20FMM) in New Delhi.
“Current global architecture is in its 8th decade. The number of members of the UN has quadrupled in this period. It neither reflects today’s politics, economics, demographics or aspirations. Since 2005, we have heard sentiments for reform being expressed at the highest level. But as we all know, these have not materialised. The reasons are no secret either. The longer we put it off, the more the credibility of multilateralism stands eroded. Global decision-making must be democratised if it has to have a future,” said Jaishankar in an opening remark.

I went to the #G20 today with two imperatives: First, to ensure that the G20 — with India at the helm — advances our shared goals, and second, to demonstrate how the U.S., together with our partners, is acting to meet the needs of the world. We succeeded at both. pic.twitter.com/IKhOOqkePy

No group can claim global leadership without listening to those most affected by its decisions. India’s G20 Presidency has tried to give a voice to the Global South. We should not allow issues that we cannot resolve together to come in the way of those we can, says PM Modi
