World entering 'age of flux', India will rise: Jaishankar
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Monday the world is entering an "age of flux" marked by conflicts, tariff volatility and geopolitical uncertainty, calling the situation "choppy waters" while expressing confidence India will rise to the challenges. Speaking at the 5th Kautilya Economic Conclave in New Delhi, he cited India's experience with the Covid pandemic and energy, food and fertiliser pressures. He said the United Nations is gridlocked and a new architecture is emerging as the global order rebalances towards a multipolar world. He shared the closing session dais with former Singapore foreign minister George Yeo Yong-Boon.
