Moreover, India was one of the founding members of several international organisations—the United Nations, the Asian Development Bank, New Development BRICS Bank, and G-20, widely considered the main economic locus of emerging and developed nations.

India has also played an important and influential role in other international organisations like East Asia Summit,World Trade Organization,International Monetary Fund (IMF),G8+5 and IBSA Dialogue Forum.India is also a member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
