Jaishankar Highlights US Repositioning and China's Rise Amid Shifting Global Order
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar highlighted at the Munich Security Conference that the global order is shaped by the United States' deliberate shift to a more solitary stance and the rise of China as a major economic and political power. He noted sharp US-China competition, which extends beyond these countries and involves weaponization of leverage amid complex interdependence. Emerging and middle powers are increasingly pursuing self-reliance, diversifying partnerships, and engaging in flexible, agenda-based cooperation through groups like the Quad and BRICS to enhance their global relevance.
