Jaishankar challenges ‘middle power’ label for India in a ‘world of choke points’

The Economic Times reports that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar called ‘middle power’ a limiting label for India at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi. He described a ‘world of choke points’ in which countries use control over critical resources, finance and sanctions to exert pressure. He said countries should define their own interests and negotiate arrangements with one another.
