Exclusive: US Economist Jeffrey D. Sachs on SCO, BRICS and India's Role | Vantage Select

Should India align more closely with the United States or pursue an independent path? American economist and author Jeffrey D. Sachs speaks exclusively to Firstpost about India’s position in a rapidly changing global order. Sachs argues that India is too important a power to get caught up in what he calls “U.S. games”, particularly efforts to counter China. In the interview, Sachs discusses India’s strategic ties with Russia, its relationship with China, the Quad, BRICS and the growing shift from a Western-dominated world towards a multipolar global order. He also argues that India and China should cooperate rather than be pushed into rivalry, calling their relationship crucial to global stability. --- Jeffrey Sachs | Vantage Select | SCO | BRICS | India Geopolitics | Global Economy | Multipolar World | Global South | International Relations | Economic Policy | US Foreign Policy | Shanghai Cooperation Organisation | Emerging Markets | Diplomacy | Indian Economy | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Hem Saroya | News #jeffreysachs #brics #sco #vantageselect #india #geopolitics #globaleconomy #multipolarworld #globalsouth #economics #worldnews #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #hemsaroya #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
