Multipolar World Is A Chess Game, Not A Monopoly: Jaishankar’s Sharp Take On Diplomacy in Brussels

At the GMF Brussels Forum 2025, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar revisited his 2022 quote: “Europe’s problems are the world’s problems but the world’s problems are not Europe’s problems.” Addressing whether Europe has evolved since, Jaishankar confirmed there’s been significant change but stressed that global diplomacy now requires understanding the perspectives of others — even rivals like Russia. He compared operating in today’s multipolar world to a chess game, requiring deeper strategic foresight and empathy. From food prices to energy, Jaishankar reminded Europe that its actions have global ripple effects. The speech blends wit, realism, and sharp geopolitical insight.#india #china #russia #ukraine #jaishankar #brusselsforum2025 #gmf2025 #jaishankarspeech #multipolarworld #globaldiplomacy #chessanalogy #europeanpolitics #russiaukraine #indiaforeignpolicy #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
