World more nationalistic; UN far less credible today: S Jaishankar on weaker multilateralism

Countries across the world, including the United States and China have become more nationalistic today and the phenomenon has resulted in a less multilateral world, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said. Speaking during a panel discussion at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Friday, The External Affairs Minister stressed that the United Nations is far less credible today than it has been through its history, "which is not surprising because when you think about it, there are not too many things which are 75 years old and still as good as they were". "Clearly, there is something that needs to be done there," Jaishankar added. (Text: ANI)

Sushma Swaraj ji was kind hearted foreign minister who put India first. S. Jaishankar ji is honest, humble and he speaks directly without fear. Both helped Indians overseas and people from other countries as well. *Two greatest foreign ministers*

A career diplomat as a foreign minister is a great move. Similarly a career armed forces officer as a defence minister, a career police officer as a interior/home minister and a career banker/economist as a finance minister would be a utopian cabinet. Horses for courses are actually needed in next gen governments in India.
