External affairs minister S Jaishankar has said that Covid-19 has taught the world that real globalisation needs to be defined in terms of pandemics, climate change and terrorism, and India over the last few years has taken a lead with its efforts in all these spheres. He also pointed out that India’s vaccine diplomacy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has assured that vaccines will be accessible and affordable for the world. Jaishankar said that India’s role in other key global challenges today also deserves similar attention, highlighting how it was a central participant in reaching the Paris agreement, and has not only met but also exceeded targets. “It will be a major focus in India’s diplomacy as a non-permanent member of the Security Council and in forums like FATF and G20.” While highlighting India’s role in addressing global challenges, the foreign minister also pointed out some shortcomings in how globalisation has caused interdependence and interpenetration in this era.
