By Jagannath Panda [Stockholm Center for South Asia and Indo-Pacific Affairs (SCSA-IPA)]
► Even before India took over the presidency of the Group of Twenty – the influential forum of major global economies, popularly called the G-20 – India did not shy away from acknowledging the stint as both a responsibility and an opportunity to focus on reforming global governance and creating equitable growth.
► Moreover, even as conflicting ideas and ideologies makes consensus-building difficult, the route to reformed and effective multilateral platforms is by continuing to labor on and emphasize on cooperative mechanisms, even when they appear idealistic.
►Only then can states not only engender global solidarity but also bring the marginalized societies to the forefront of the new-era multipolarity.
