Rishi Sunak Highlights India's Independent Foreign Policy at Bloomberg Forum

Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi, discussing the evolving global balance of power. He noted that countries like India and those in West Asia are increasingly able to make independent foreign policy decisions, not always aligning with the US or China. Sunak highlighted the rise of China as a strategic rival to the US and expressed concern over the current global security landscape, citing 61 state-based armed conflicts worldwide, the highest since World War II. The forum, taking place from October 13 to 15, focuses on leadership amid uncertainty in the global economy.
