During the Munich Leaders Meeting in New Delhi, S Jaishankar elaborated on India’s potential to rise swiftly in the global power arena within the next decade.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

External affairs minister S Jaishankar said India has the potential to move rapidly up the global power hierarchy over the next five to 10 years, citing decades of high growth ahead, a supportive demographic profile and the emergence of new economic opportunities.Speaking at the Munich Leaders Meeting in New Delhi on Sunday, Jaishankar was asked where India would be positioned in the global order five to 10 years from now. He said countries currently classified as middle powers would not necessarily follow the same trajectory.\u201cSome powers are more middle, and some are upper middle,\u201d Jaishankar said. \u201cSome of the powers have considerable and realistic potential even in the near short medium term to grow very rapidly.\u201dTurning to India, Jaishankar said the country has \u201cdecades of high growth\u201d ahead and argued that its demographic profile could help sustain that growth.\u201cIn the case of India, because we have decades of high growth ahead of us, and we have all said and done, a demography that will sustain that growth,\u201d he said.Jaishankar also argued that India may not need to follow the traditional industrialisation path taken by earlier economies, pointing to the emergence of new possibilities in a rapidly changing global economy.\u201cI would even argue, a world that is much more creative, where many new possibilities are there, so that we don’t necessarily have to tread the earlier path of industrialization,\u201d he said.\u201cThe orthodox path will have to devise something much more contemporary for what awaits us,\u201d he added.India\u2019s place among middle powers<\/span>Jaishankar said the global power hierarchy is likely to evolve unevenly, with countries currently grouped together as middle powers potentially moving in different directions.\u201cAmong the middle powers, some will peel off, some will stay put, some may drop down a bit,\u201d he said.\u201cThat is the reality. That will be part of the evolution of the global order,\u201d Jaishankar added.His remarks came during a wider discussion on the changing international power structure at the Munich Leaders Meeting in New Delhi. The meeting is being held on October 4 and 5 and brings together senior decision-makers and experts to discuss foreign and security policy issues.Jaishankar\u2019s wider power assessment<\/span>Earlier during the discussion, Jaishankar said the United States and China should not be viewed as middle powers, highlighting their vastly different levels of global influence.\u201cWhen we say what the prospects are, we are also looking at an international landscape. As I said, what is important to define is what is not a middle power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
