INDIA'S APPROACH TO the changing global order is anchored in a clear principle: a cooperative and rules-based international system, complemented by proactive partnerships that safeguard national interests, said Shaktikanta Das, principal secretary-2 to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Delivering the inaugural Bibek Debroy Memorial Lecture here, Das said that as power becomes more diffused and alignments more fluid, India recognises the need to revitalise multilateralism even while adapting to new realities.

This balanced worldview, articulated by Das, underlines New Delhi's resolve to engage the world constructively without compromising strategic autonomy. Central to this approach is atmanirbharta — India's vision of self-reliance.
