Future of the World Order Being Decided Today, Lavrov Says at UNGA

Lavrov said.

The Russian diplomat stressed that unipolar model of global development, “which served the interests of the so-called ‘golden billion’,” which amassed its wealth using the resources of Asia, Africa and Latin America, is receding into the past.

“Today, we’re witnessing sovereign states ready to defend their national interests, and this is resulting in the creation of an equal, socially-oriented, multipolar architecture,” Lavrov said. The West considers these processes a threat, and the United States and its allies “want to stop the march of history,” he suggested.
