External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the emerging world order will be more multipolar, unstable and driven by national interests. Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, he said countries will make more independent decisions, while global alliances may become weaker. He pointed to conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia, rising food and fuel prices, and US-China tensions as major challenges. Jaishankar said India must protect its national interests and strengthen its global ties. He also stressed the need to boost manufacturing, infrastructure, technology, education and skills to prepare for the changing world.
