The global economic and political pecking order has undergone a significant change and a number of centres of power and influence have emerged, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday (December 20, 2025).
"No country, however powerful, can impose its will on all issues,” Mr. Jaishankar said, addressing the 22nd convocation of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University) in Pune.
“Not just that, it also means now that there is a natural competition among nations in the world and that it creates its own balance,” he said. “A number of centres of power and influence have emerged," he said.
