New Delhi: The world order is rapidly changing, and countries like India and China have points of view that might create friction with the Western nations, said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar at a summit hosted by a news network in New Delhi on Monday. Responding to a question on the hostile stand of Trudeau's government against India, the Foreign Minister emphasised the larger geopolitical picture concerning the recent controversies. "I think there is there is a general Western issue, and to some extent, a very specific Canada issue," Jaishankar said, adding that the world order, which was heavily Western after 1945, has started to change in the last 20-25 years.

Many non-Western countries have a bigger share, a bigger contribution, a bigger role and a bigger influence which will naturally come," EAM said while speaking at a summit hosted by the NDTV.

That's a larger picture," EAM said.
