During a recent meeting in Manila, Chinese FM Wang Yi and Indian EAM Jaishankar didn’t just exchange pleasantries. They laid out a roadmap: more cooperation in media, people-to-people ties, and even BRICS leadership. Wang emphasized ‘multipolarity’; a code word for reducing Western dominance in global decisions. Jaishankar reaffirmed India’s stance on Taiwan and Xizang but kept the door open for deeper ties. This isn’t just diplomacy; it’s strategic alignment between two giants who together represent nearly 3 billion people. For job seekers, especially in IR, foreign policy, or international trade, this thaw could mean more opportunities; think think-tanks, embassies, cultural programs, or BRICS-linked projects. The real story? Big changes often start with quiet meetings. Stay curious.
