Global South feels strong desire for change in the world order - Indian Foreign Minister

RT：印度外长称全球南方国家强烈渴望改变世界秩序

S. Jaishankar has said there are rising voices in the BRICS+ nations condemning the unfairness of global affairs

印度外长苏杰生表示，金砖国家+集团内部谴责全球事务不公的呼声日益高涨

Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has said that “strong sentiments” in the Global South regarding the perceived unfairness of the present international order are fueling a desire for change, according to the news agency AFP. 

据法新社报道，印度外长苏杰生表示，全球南方国家对当前国际秩序不公平性的"强烈情绪"正推动着变革诉求。

Jaishankar’s statement, made on Sunday, came ahead of the G7 Summit in Canada where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is one of the invitees representing the Global South. “There are very strong feelings in the Global South about the inequities of the international order, the desire to change it, and we are very much part of that,” he said.

苏杰生周日发表此番言论之际，正值七国集团峰会即将在加拿大召开，印度总理莫迪作为全球南方代表受邀出席。他表示："全球南方对国际秩序不公现象存在强烈不满，渴望改变现状，而印度正是这股力量的重要组成部分。"

The Indian foreign minister added that it is important for New Delhi to make its presence felt at the Canada summit. “We have been an outreach country in the G7 for many years, and I think it brings benefits to the G7,” he said. 

这位印度外长补充说，新德里在加拿大峰会上展现存在感至关重要。"多年来印度始终是七国集团的拓展合作伙伴国，我认为这种互动为七国集团带来了切实利益。"他说道。

The G7, or Group of Seven, is an informal intergovernmental forum which was established in the mid-1970s consisting of seven of the world’s most advanced economies: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. While not a member, India plays an important role in the G20, an expanded group which was established in 1999.

七国集团（G7）是成立于 1970 年代中期的非正式政府间论坛，由全球七大发达经济体组成：加拿大、法国、德国、意大利、日本、英国和美国。印度虽非成员国，但在 1999 年成立的二十国集团（G20）中发挥着重要作用。

BRICS, an intergovernmental organization established in 2009 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China (as BRIC), with South Africa joining in 2010, is widely seen as representative of the Global South. The group later expanded to include Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Iran.

金砖国家组织于 2009 年由巴西、俄罗斯、印度和中国（初始为"金砖四国"）共同创立，南非于 2010 年加入，被广泛视为全球南方国家的代表。该组织近期已扩容吸纳埃及、阿联酋、埃塞俄比亚、印度尼西亚和伊朗。

Vietnam recently joined the bloc as a partner country. The original five countries are all members of the G20, where they are seen as a counterweight to the G7. India’s active trade involvement with Russia and other members of BRICS, particularly in sectors such as oil and defense, has drawn the ire of G7 countries such as the US.

越南近期以伙伴国身份加入该集团。创始五国均为二十国集团成员，被视为制衡七国集团的重要力量。印度与俄罗斯等金砖成员国在石油、国防等领域的活跃贸易往来，已引发美国等七国集团国家的不满。

Recently, US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said while addressing the eighth US-India Strategic Partnership Forum that India’s participation in the group, which challenges the hegemony of the US dollar, is “not really the way to make friends and influence people in America.”

近日，美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克在第八届美印战略伙伴关系论坛上表示，印度加入这个挑战美元霸权的组织"实在不是在美国结交朋友和影响他人的好方式"。

The original five BRICS countries overtook their G7 counterparts in share of the world’s total gross domestic product (GDP) in terms of purchasing power parity in 2018, according to the German online platform Statista.

根据德国在线数据平台 Statista 显示，以购买力平价计算，金砖五国早在 2018 年就在全球 GDP 总量占比上超越了七国集团。

The current BRICS members now account for 35 percent of the world’s GDP, compared to 30 percent held by the G7 countries, according to Statista.

Statista 数据显示，当前金砖国家占全球 GDP 比重已达 35%，而七国集团占比为 30%。
