Our Assessment
India has actively pursued a Global South leadership role: it convened three Voice of Global South Summits (the 3rd on 17 August 2024 with 123 countries participating) and launched initiatives such as the Global Development Compact, the Global South Centre of Excellence (DAKSHIN), AarogyaMaitri and trade/capacity-building funds, while championing reformed multilateralism at the G20, G7 outreach and UN. The 5S-framed pledge is being acted on, but "Voice of the Global South" is a continuing diplomatic role rather than a fixed, completable deliverable. Partial.
