· World · The Hindu, thehindu
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will attend the inaugural session of the Partners for Multilateralism (P4M) in New York on September 21, 2026. This new forum, founded by the European Union, Brazil, Kenya, and Canada, aims to support UN-based multilateralism outside of traditional superpower politics. The grouping seeks to reform international institutions to be more representative and effective in addressing global challenges like AI, climate change, and health security. Leaders of the founding nations have expressed dissatisfaction with unilateral actions by major powers, including the United States, Russia, and China. Mr. Jaishankar is also scheduled to deliver India's national address at the UN General Assembly on September 26.
Why it matters
India's participation in P4M signals a strategic effort to align with middle powers and push for reforms in global governance, potentially balancing influence against major superpowers.
