Jaishankar made the remarks at a conclave of the foreign ministers of the BRICS nations in New Delhi. “We meet at a time when the effectiveness of global governance and the credibility of multilateralism are under increasing scrutiny,” he said. “The world today is more interconnected, complex, and multipolar than when many of our current institutions were created.
