'Politicisation of energy flows harmful': EAM calls for diversified supply chains at G20

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar urged for reduced political meddling in energy markets and expanded global supply chains during the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta, highlighting that such disruptions disproportionately burden developing nations. At the meeting's conclusion, Jaishankar advocated for diversified manufacturing and production across countries, emphasizing the need for resilient supply chains to withstand pandemics, conflicts, climate events and mishaps.

He also called for de-politicization of markets and preventing the concentration of resources in select regions, urging the G20 to promote industrialization and resist predatory practices.
