Why it matters
Jaishankar highlighted that the Global South is disproportionately affected by attacks on civilian shipping and seafarers, which jeopardizes the availability and cost of fuel, food, and fertilizers. He also criticized the weaponization of supply chains and market distortions.
India attended the G20 finance ministers meeting while highlighting its strategic interests in Chabahar and the impact of the Iran conflict on the Strait of Hormuz.
