New Delhi, August 27 (ANI): In a savage reply to the global north that dominates the international system, Minister of External Affairs of India S Jaishankar while addressing the standalone session on “Role of Global South in Emerging World 2.0” in New Delhi showed the global north their double standards and arrogance towards global south. Addressing the summit, Jaishankar said, "...It is however an undeniable reality that the international system remains dominated by the global north. This is naturally reflected in the composition of G20 as well. Perhaps this mattered less when the globalisation process appeared to offer more opportunities but as its inequities and unevenness became more apparent and then as we saw the Covid pandemic take a horrific toll across the world the need to focus on developing countries became more compelling..." He further said, “When India assumed the G20 Presidency last December, we were acutely conscious that most of the global south would not be at the table when we meet, this mattered very much...therefore PM decided to convene the Voice of the Global South Summit in January this year and we heard about their challenges and priorities and these have been made central to the G20 agenda." Jaishankar added, "The core mandate of the G20 is to promote economic growth and development and that cannot advance if the crucial concerns of the global south are not addressed...For a variety of reasons that range from scale, subsidy, technology, human resources, and strategic choices the global south was reduced to being a consumer rather than a producer..."
