EAM Jaishankar Highlights Multipolar Future and Global South's Growing Role at Raisina Dialogue

At the Raisina Dialogue 2026, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated that the global order is shifting toward multipolarity, with no single country holding overall hegemony across all domains. He emphasized that the era of dominant powers making sweeping geopolitical deals is over, and power is now distributed across regions with specialized strengths. Jaishankar highlighted the growing influence of the Global South, rooted in shared historical experiences, and noted that multipolarity can coexist with multilateralism. He also pointed to technological and demographic changes as key drivers of this transformation.
