Delhi: EAM S Jaishankar says, "You know, look, to some extent I think there is a general western issue and to some extent a very specific Canada issue. I think the western issue has been, after all, let's be frank, the world order after 1945 was heavily western. I mean, it was before 45 also in an imperial colonial sense. And after 1990s, it was again very, very western. So what has happened, you can say, in the last 20-25 years is that there is what you can call a rebalancing or multipolarity. Many non-western countries have a bigger share, a bigger contribution, a bigger role, if you would, and a bigger influence which will naturally come. So the equations, in a way, between the west and the non-west, I think, is changing. And it's not easy to adjust to that..."

00:00I think, you know, that's a question you need to have Trudeau here, not Jai Shankar, to answer.
00:07I can only speculate.
00:11You know, look, to some extent I think there is a general Western issue
00:21and to some extent a very specific Canada issue.
00:26I think the Western issue has been, after all, let's be frank,
00:32the world order after 1945 was heavily Western.
00:37I mean, it was before 1945 also in an imperial, colonial sense.
00:42And after the 1990s, it was again very, very Western.
00:49So what has happened, you can say, in the last 20-25 years
00:54is that there is what you can call a rebalancing, a multipolarity.
01:02Many non-Western countries have a bigger share, a bigger contribution, a bigger role, if you would,
01:10and a bigger influence which will naturally come.
01:14So the equations, in a way, between the West and the non-West, I think, is changing.
01:22And it's not easy to adjust to that, you know.
01:26If you've been dominant and you are less dominant, you know.
01:30If there was a time when, you know, in the conversation you were looking up and I was looking down,
01:37and now the conversation is no longer like that, it takes a little bit of getting used to.
01:43So I would say, in a broad way, on multiple subjects,
01:48today, when the natural diversity of the world has started to express itself.
