Addressing the Nikkei Forum on the India-Japan partnership in Tokyo, India's top diplomat said that countries of the Global South feel for each other on a number of issues.
Highlighting India's leadership among the Global South, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar today said the 125 countries of the platform placed their trust in India and that China skipped the two meetings convened by India last year to listen to their concerns.
Addressing the Nikkei Forum on the India-Japan partnership in Tokyo, India's top diplomat said that countries of the Global South feel for each other on a number of issues.
"On a lot of issues, these countries feel for each other. The feeling has been intensified by COVID because many countries of the Global South felt that they were the last in the line to get the vaccine. They even felt at the time when India became G20 President that their concerns were not even on the agenda of the G20," he said.
