India and Indonesia guide southern consensus

BY

India and Indonesia sit at the heart of the Indo-Pacific, and participate  in multiple global and regional frameworks that ensure developing countries remain part of governance debates.

This can reduce vulnerabilities among developing countries and strengthen them against future disruptions.
