While participating in a panel discussion on the 'Bretton Woods Institutions at 80: Priorities for the Next Decade', organised by the Center for Global Development on the sidelines of the World Bank and International Annual Meetings 2024 in Washington, DC, Ms Sitharaman stated that no country, whether US which is far away or China which is very close cannot ignore India.
When asked how nations like India and other big emerging markets step up and play a role that helps to take ownership of that process and drive the reform forward, Ms Sitharaman said, "Yes, absolutely possible. And on this, I just want to again start from where a thought of my Prime Minister came in and this is well thought through. He once said India's priority is not to impose its dominance. In the sense we have the biggest democracy, we have in the world, the largest population but to enhance its influence. Now why do we want to have our influence enhanced? It's only because the fact that today one in every six person in the world is an Indian and you just cannot ignore our economy and the way in which it is growing, that's the second."
