Updated:2 years, 9 months ago

New York, September 24 (ANI): While speaking to ANI on India acting as a voice of the global south, João Gomes Cravinho, Foreign Minister of Portugal hailed India's credibility to bring forth some of the major world issues that needed changing. He said, “, I think that India has the weight and credibility to point up some of the major issues that need changing, such as the international financial architecture or the current security council which is corresponding to a time that is no longer the present time.” “India is a country that I have enormous respect and affection for. I had the good fortune to live there for 3.5 years. I have seen India transforming in the context of its capacity to project itself internationally and to assume international leadership roles. And that's something I think that is highly valuable at this time of which we're living. It's a time of change, a time of transition, a time in which the old world order is being, seriously undermined because of its, difficulty in responding to the challenges of current times. And, India is, of course, emerging as a country of reference, not just for the so-called global South. I prefer the term plural south because of the heterogeneity, of countries in the southern hemisphere, not that India is in the southern hemisphere, but, I think that India has the weight and credibility to point up some of the major issues that need changing, such as the international financial architecture or the current security council which is corresponding to a time that is no longer the present time...” he added.
