We are now live tweeting the panel on ‘Trojan Manoeuvre: Capture and Fall of Global Institutions’ with @HonTonyAbbott, @HelenClarkNZ, @VikasSwarup, Asle Toje, @HelloKetty1998
Moderated by @NaghmaSahar. Participate in the conversation with #Raisina2021 #RaisinaDialogue
.@nagmasahar: The pandemic struck at the roots of global order which many believe was already falling. Pre-pandemic global trends seemed redundant. #Raisina2021
.@nagmasahar: The withering of the pre-pandemic global order is epitomised by the failure of the WHO to play a global leadership role during the pandemic. Other than the WHO, the UN and organisations like the WTO are also struggling for contemporary relevance. #Raisina2021

Majed Al Ansari: Since 2010, the US in the Arabian Sea & Middle East have started pulling out of major conflicts in the region. This means that local powers and regional powers must play a different role which is expected of them. #Raisina2021
