KEY POINTS
Multilateralism is process of organizing relations between groups of three or more states.
Conflicts
· India attended the BRICS summit while skipping Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
· This came into sharp focus primarily due to Indian and Chinese involvement (or non-involvement) in the backdrop of the stand-off involving the two countries in the Himalayas.
Multilateralism
· Multilateralism have a significant role to play in the foreign policies of countries due to the post-COVID world’s tendency to shut borders.
· One implication of this development is the intensification of interdependence among states. This has resulted in the rise and deepening of several multilateral institutional systems.
· Examples are the expansion of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the SCO.
As a part of foreign policy
· India has to engage with regional groupings in stronger ways though China has a pre-eminent position in the architecture of these organisations.
· India has to look at the possibility of strengthening neighbourhood multilateral frameworks (such as SARRC, where India is at the centre or finding a feasible framework through sub-regionalism).
· India needs to build multilateral trade blocs/economic groupings involving its South Asian neighbours along with Indian Ocean neighbours, while rejuvenating organisations such as BIMSTEC and IOR-ARC.
