JOHANNESBURG:India has a major role to play in the remaking of the post-World War II world order, which is on the brink of collapse, South African Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry Zuko Godlimpi told a gathering of captains of industry, academics and policy makers in Pretoria on Monday.

The minister was delivering the keynote address at the 2nd annual India-South Africa Business Conclave, organised jointly by the High Commission of India and the CII-India Business Forum.

Godlimpi said independent India was born two years after World War II ended amid the global trade system architecture that was created by the West.
