External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday called for greater cooperation among Global South countries to address challenges ranging from supply chain disruptions and energy security to food security, artificial intelligence and maritime safety.
Chairing a high-level meeting of like-minded Global South countries and friends on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Jaishankar said the global landscape was marked by rising conflicts and geopolitical tensions, pressure on supply chains and trade, fragmented investment flows and growing debt vulnerabilities.
