EAM S Jaishankar speaks on influence of west on global equations

Delhi: EAM S Jaishankar says, "You know, look, to some extent I think there is a general western issue and to some extent a very specific Canada issue.

I think the western issue has been, after all, let's be frank, the world order after 1945 was heavily western.

I mean, it was before 45 also in an imperial colonial sense.

And after 1990s, it was again very, very western.

So what has happened, you can say, in the last 20-25 years is that there is what you can call a rebalancing or multipolarity.

Many non-western countries have a bigger share, a bigger contribution, a bigger role, if you would, and a bigger influence which will naturally come.

So the equations, in a way, between the west and the non-west, I think, is changing.

And it's not easy to adjust to that..." #sjaishankar #ndtvworldsummit #externalaffairsminister #sjaishankarspeech
