In an exclusive interview with Firstpost's Josh Barnes at the Sagarmanthan Dialogue in New Delhi, former Tunisian Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa reframes emerging economies across the Global South as central drivers of global economic, demographic, and technological progress rather than passive observers. He addresses the growing friction in international relations, attributing escalating global conflicts to an outdated post-WWII governance structure that no longer aligns with real-world power distribution. Highlighting major powers like China, Brazil, and India, Jomaa asserts that international financial institutions and multilateral bodies like the UN must adapt to this shift. --- Global South | Tunisia | Mehdi Jomaa | India | China | Brazil | Sagarmanthan 2026 | India | Iran | Saudi Arabia | Strait Of Hormuz | Sarbananda Sonowal | Russia | Sagarmanthan | Sagarmanthan Summit | New Delhi | Military | Shipping | Navy | Indian Navy | Sagarmanthan Dialogue | Maritime Summit | Maritime Con
