Source<\/strong>: The post is based on the article\u00a0\u201cA long-drawn test for India\u2019s diplomatic skills<\/strong>\u201d published in The Hindu <\/strong>on\u00a019th<\/sup> May 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Syllabus: GS 2 \u2013 <\/strong>Regional & Global Groupings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Relevance: <\/strong>India\u2019s position at various multilateral groupings and challenges associated with it<\/p>\n

News<\/strong>: India is going to attend various multilateral organizations meetings in the coming months.<\/p>\n

What are the upcoming multilateral meetings which India will be part of?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. a)<\/strong> Indian PM and other Quad leaders are expected to meet G7 countries in May, b)<\/strong> PM will visit the US in June, c)<\/strong> India will host the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in July, d)<\/strong> PM will then attend the BRICS summit in South Africa in August and e)<\/strong> India will host the G20 summit in September.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Therefore, there are many multilateral meetings on the list of India to attend, which shows that India is keen to get involved with the different global groupings.<\/p>\n

    It will also be a chance for India to showcase its diplomatic skills in maintaining the balance in its relations with various countries.<\/p>\n

    How is India trying to maintain balance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    India has maintained a sweet spot <\/strong>without following the Indonesian President to visit Ukraine nor has it invited Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Minister in the G20 meeting.<\/p>\n

    Further, India hosting SCO and G20 shows India\u2019s content to strike balance between the global order in the wake of war and changing geopolitical scenario<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    India is also setting examples for many countries in South East Asia and the Global South by maintaining this balance.<\/p>\n

    For example,<\/strong> Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Israel are managing their ties with the West without joining its stand on Ukraine or sanctions.<\/p>\n

    Further, the France President has reiterated on the Strategic Autonomy after his visit to China this year.<\/strong> This strategic autonomy has benefited India to maintain its relations with the countries of its interests.<\/p>\n

    What are the challenges for India in maintaining this balance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. a)<\/strong> Unexpected victory of Ukraine over Russia may force India to reexamine its relations with Russia, b)<\/strong> attacks by China across any part of the Line of Actual Control would make India to rethink on its strategies, c)<\/strong> India would also be forced to rethink if Russia escalates its stand on payment issues or withhold supplies of defence hardware to India under pressure from China, d)<\/strong> threats remain over imposition of unilateral sanctions by the West for buying Russian oil or sanctions under Countering America\u2019s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act-Related Sanctions (CAATSA<\/strong>) for acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      What can be the way ahead for India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      An important task with India ahead is to ensure China and Russia come to a consensus on a joint declaration at the G-20 summit in September<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      This is because the G7 countries have always been in favour of excluding these two countries from the group.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, for India to get success in maintaining the balance with the nations, it has to show its diplomatic skills in making a consensus between the two nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
