March 20, 2018 | In recent decades, India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, driven by innovation and economic reform. This potential, along with its democratic culture and increasing regional and global influence, has positioned India to become a leading geopolitical power of the twenty-first century. As a founding member of the United Nations, India recognizes the importance of exerting its influence in conjunction with multilateral institutions in order to uphold international laws and norms. However, India’s rise necessitates a hard look at the balance of power within these multilateral institutions. In particular, the government of India has been vocal about reforming the UN Security Council and advocating for India’s permanent membership in this body.

On March 20, the India Initiative hosted India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations H.E. Syed Akbaruddin for a discussion on India’s role as a rising global power and major player in international decision-making.
