Trump's preference for unilateral action and questioning of international alliances could affect effectiveness of NATO, the UN, and the EU in tackling global security challenges.
The multi-stakeholder alliance was launched on the sidelines of G20 summit held in the country last year. Participating nations include Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Italy, Mauritius, Singapore, UAE & USA.
External Affairs Minister also exchanged views on climate action challenges, Indo-Pacific & Afghanistan with Frans Timmermans, executive VP of the European Union Green Deal.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin further said all member countries shall jointly uphold real multilateralism, abide by the UN charter and reject hegemonic bullying.
Speaking at an online interaction, the External Affairs Minister said era of multilateralism is over, and there are ways of engaging with the world that are not FTA-centric.
75-years of the UN Charter come at a time when the world struggles to deal with the shock waves of Covid-19, and tragically, we see a shift away from multilateral cooperation.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
