The West Asia region is undergoing a dramatic transformation, according to veteran diplomat Syed Akbaruddin. Speaking at an NDTV summit, Akbaruddin described the turbulent situation as an 'order-defining moment' with the potential for widespread impact far beyond the region itself.
He pointed out that the longstanding fault lines have shifted from the traditional Arab-Israeli conflict to tension between Iran and Israel. This evolution changes the dynamics in ways previously unimagined and underscores the growing influence of non-state actors. Akbaruddin, India's former Permanent Representative to the UN, stressed the importance of international vigilance as these changes unfold.
Amid escalating tensions, India urges a return to dialogue, with leaders highlighting the necessity of diplomatic efforts. As global powers reevaluate their roles, calls for India to assume a more significant position on the world stage resonate, punctuated by its leadership during prominent international events such as the G20 summit.
