· World · Times of India, Zee News
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said India has the potential to move rapidly up the global power hierarchy over the next five to 10 years. Speaking at the Munich Leaders Meeting in New Delhi on Sunday, he cited decades of high growth ahead, a supportive demographic profile, and the emergence of new economic opportunities. Jaishankar noted that countries currently classified as middle powers will evolve unevenly, with some peeling off and others dropping down. He also argued that India may not need to follow the traditional industrialisation path taken by earlier economies due to a rapidly changing global economy. The Munich Leaders Meeting runs on October 4 and 5, bringing together senior decision-makers and experts to discuss foreign and security policy issues.
