Senior member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Executive, Subramanian Swamy has called for a strategic partnership among India, China and the United States to promote world peace.
Speaking at the 2015 World Peace Forum Conference hosted by Tsinghua University, Dr. Swamy said that a new global power paradigm has emerged. It is underscored by the US, China and India jointly accounting for 43 per cent of the global population, leadership in GDP contribution, in PPP rates of exchange, and possession of the three largest armed forces. The three countries have also emerged as the drivers of global economic growth.
Dr. Swamy, who has also been the Chairman of the BJP Committee for Strategic Action, stressed that the new paradigm shift demands the movement of “the post-War 1945 global power structure ossified presently in the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, each holding a veto to meet the exigencies of the pre-1945 international issues of conventional warfare, to a new dispensation of international power structure in which China and India, particularly the latter because it have unfairly denied its due place, have to recognise for the new status as emergent economies of global reach.”
The rise of religion-based terrorism dominated by radical religion-driven forces and which is facilitated by cyber technology, particularly computer websites, and internet banking, reinforces the emergence of a new paradigm in the partnership of nations, Dr. Swamy observed.
