Partners for Multilateralism: India to Attend New Non-Superpower Grouping's Inaugural Session at UN | UPSC GS2 India joins new global order! External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar co-chaired the inaugural Partners for Multilateralism, International Law, Peace & Prosperity (P4M) Summit on Sept 21, 2026 on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly in New York. In this video, Vajirao & Reddy Institute explains the new grouping - as covered in The Hindu, Indian Express, PIB & ET. 🔴 WHAT IS P4M? Partners for Multilateralism (P4M) is a non-superpower grouping of middle powers & Global South. Founded by EU (President Antonio Costa), Brazil (President Lula da Silva), Kenya (President William Ruto) & Canada (PM Mark Carney). Initial co-sponsors: India, Australia, Barbados. It is based on Carney Doctrine - middle powers must come together to defend multilateralism, away from superpower politics of USA, Russia & China. 🔴 WHY WAS IT FORMED? As per joint editorial in Financial Times: - Growing dissatisfaction with US unilateralism under Trump 2.0 (trade weaponization, tariffs, Iran conflict) - Russia-China unilateral moves & conflicts - Erosion of UN-based system, UNSC veto paralysis - Need for collective action on new challenges: AI governance, Climate Change, Health Security, Digital Transformation, Supply Chain Resilience, 4F Crisis - Fuel, Food, Fertiliser, Finance. 🔴 INDIA'S STAND: Jaishankar said: "We meet at a time when the global order is under stress... Reformed Multilateralism is a must. More participative deliberations and transparent decision-making are overdue. If left unchecked, extreme competition will question the very spirit of international cooperation." The summit is open to all regions and will push for UN Reform & UNSC Permanent Membership for Global South. 🔴 UPSC ANGLE: GS2: International Relations - Groupings, UN Reforms, India as Voice of Global South, Middle Power Diplomacy Prelims: P4M Full Form, Members, 81st UNGA 📚 Source: The Hindu (22 Sep 2026), Economic Times, Hindustan Times, PTI 👉 Join Vajirao & Reddy - India's Top Potential Training Institute for IAS #p4m #multilateralism #PartnersForMultilateralism #P4M #IndiaAtUN #Jaishankar #UNGA81 #ReformedMultilateralism #UNReforms #GS2InternationalRelations #UPSC2026 #CurrentAffairs #TheHinduAnalysis #GlobalSouth #MiddlePowers #UNSCReform #VajiraoAndReddy
