Gautam Adani, the Indian tycoon who is now Asia’s richest person, called on his government to align with local businesses and seize the opportunity as China slows and global alliances fracture.

“If we look at history, the countries that rose to economic and geopolitical prominence had their governments and businesses working closely towards a common vision,” Adani said in a LinkedIn post Friday after attending the World Economic Forum in Davos. Geopolitical relationships are now issue-based rather than allegiance-based and nations’ need for energy security will determine climate investments, he wrote.
