United States and EU members Russian FM Sergei Lavrov
Russian FM Sergei Lavrov foreign minister, spoke extensively on the emergence of new centres of economic power, financial influence, and political sway, and indicated that China and India are already ahead of the United States and EU members in a number of respects.
In his address to a joint news conference in Eritrea, Lavrov criticised the United States by stating that the establishment of a multi-polar world is an objective and unstoppable process, and that the collective West, which includes NATO and the EU and is fully controlled by Washington, is attempting to reverse this process.
“The emergence of a multipolar world is an inevitable and objective process. The United States, NATO, and the European Union, which are all entirely controlled by Washington, are attempting to reverse this trend. However, these attempts are in vain. The most they can expect is a minor deceleration of the objective course of history “The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement quoting Lavrov.
“The growth of new economic, financial, and political power centres cannot be halted by mentor visits or hybrid warfare waged by the West (even in Ukraine). In a number of ways, China and India have already surpassed the United States and EU members “Lavrov remarked.
Russian FM Sergei Lavrov said that Turkey, Egypt, countries of the Persian Gulf, Brazil, and other Latin American nations are emerging as prominent and self-sufficient future centres of multi-polarity.
During a joint news conference in Eritrea, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov revealed that the 15th BRICS summit will be held in Durban, South Africa, at the end of August.
Russian FM Sergei Lavrov, referring to BRICS as a manifestation of global multi-polarity, stated that the growth of regional identities in developing regions of the world does not imply that global multi-polarity is not occurring.
“This organisation joins five nations, while more than twelve others have expressed interest in joining. At the forthcoming summit of the five, which will take place in August in Durban, South Africa, the formation of ties between BRICS and other nations will be a primary focus. The multi-polar historical clock is moving in the proper path “Lavrov said.
