The Global South faces problems with finance, fuel, food, and fertilizers due ongoing conflicts, the Indian foreign minister has said<\/p>\n
India has reminded developed nations that they have an equal responsibility to find solutions to conflicts around the world impacting people in the Global South.
\n\u201cThe Global South today faces a 4F crisis of finance, fuel, food and fertilizers,\u201d Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar told a global forum on peace and international cooperation in New Delhi on Saturday. \u201cThe Global North must realize that it has equal stakes in finding solutions.\u201d
\nThe minister and career diplomat is known for his takedowns of Western narratives employed to coerce the Global South, including India, to isolate Moscow. Earlier this month he reminded the West that New Delhi\u2019s ties to Moscow run long and deep, and will not be \u201ceasily forgotten.\u201d\u00a0
\nWith the Ukraine conflict now in its fifth year, and the Iran war disrupting energy supplies from the Middle East, Jaishankar called for \u201cgenuine dialogue\u201d to bring them to an end. \u201cWe cannot remain helpless spectators,\u201d he said, adding that India was expressing the global sentiment when it urged dialogue and diplomacy as the only solution.<\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f The urgent need for reformed multilateralism and for the UN to show leadership in face of global crises\u2014 Dr. S. Jaishankar (@DrSJaishankar) October 25, 2026<\/p>\n
New Delhi has consistently called for the Ukraine conflict to be resolved peacefully, and offered its own proposal earlier this month. Both the Kremlin and Kiev have welcomed India\u2019s efforts.
\nThe Indian position stands in stark contrast to that of Europe, which wants a seat at the negotiating table, but has still not named a negotiator. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on Sunday that \u201cthe EU has been willing to [appoint a negotiator] for a very long time, but it either cannot do so or lacks the resolve to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russia is ready to resume three-way negotiations with the US and Ukraine to discuss post-conflict security arrangements, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said last week.
\nJaishankar said market distortions caused by constriction and chokepoints only add to the suffering of the people in the Global South.
\nThe Indian foreign minister also called on the United Nations to show leadership rather than remaining a spectator to global crises, pointing out that the case for a reformed multilateralism is getting stronger by the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
