Key Agenda: Reformed Multilateralism and the Global South
At the heart of the discussions was India's long-standing demand for multilateral institutions to reflect present-day geopolitical realities. Jaishankar stressed that the current architecture of global governance — shaped largely in the post-World War II era — must be updated to give greater voice to emerging economies and developing nations.
