External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar called for "urgent" reform of multilateral institutions to reflect the changing global order, saying stronger cooperation among smaller groups of countries could support the process.

Jaishankar made the remarks during a session of the Raisina Dialogue's Middle East edition in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, where he joined UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan for a discussion on ''The World Ahead: Power, Purpose & Possibility''.
