Mr Jaishankar was in conversation with UK's Minister of State for Development, Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Vicky Ford and World Economic Forum President Borge Brende.
The solution to globalisation is decentralisation and the solution to multilateralism is reformed multilateralism, not a 1945-version of multilateralism, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.
Speaking at an event titled 'The G20 Imperative: Green Growth and Development for All' organised by the Observer Research Foundation in New York on Friday, Mr Jaishankar said the two words under attack currently are globalisation and multilateralism.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with either of them. What is challengeable is how they have been implemented. Has multilateralism failed us? I will say this form of multilateralism in the hands of these people perhaps has not delivered," he said.
