I delve into 🇮🇳’s quest for perfectibility & ideal global governance in my essay on Reforming Multilateral Institutions in 21st Century- a priority theme of India’s G20 presidency. It will be heartening to see India’s G20 presidency setting benchmarks & taking them forward

India’s commitment to multilateralism is inspired by what Swami Vivekananda said “I am ready to prove here that throughout the whole of 🇮🇳 there runs a mutual & cordial string of eternal faith in the perfection of humanity & let that faith be spread over the whole world’

It is no wonder then that India's presidency of G20, the people’s presidency as referred to by PM @narendramodi Ji, prioritised the theme of reformed multilateralism to make it current & fit for purpose for the 21st century

There are 5 major 'projects' of humanity or global public goods multilateralism seeks to advance- peace & security, democracy &human rights, sustainable development -economic, social & environmental & climate change action, disaster & crisis prevention & response & Technology4.0

I unpack the evolution of Global South- developing countries of Asia, Africa & LATAM, Pacific & Caribbean from ‘60s & how PM Modi’s India has moved from periphery to center of global economic system to ensure that the 5 GPGs are governed by Global South & for its benefit
