West pushing ‘neocolonial agenda’ on world stage – Lavrov
The Ukraine conflict is just part of a global struggle for multipolarity, the Russian FM has said
The US and its allies are attempting to cling onto world hegemony against the tide of a multipolar international order, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
“We do not define the current phase of international relations as a new Cold War,”Lavrov told the Indonesian outlet Kompas.
“The issue at hand is about something different, namely, the formation of a multipolar international order.This is an objective process. Everyone can see that new globally meaningful decision-making centers are growing stronger in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.”
These countries and their associations are seeing success because they promote “values such as national interests, independence, sovereignty, cultural and civilizational identity and international cooperation,” in line with the global development trends, Lavrov explained.
Meanwhile, the US-led “collective West” is trying to slow or reverse this process, the Russian diplomat said.
Their goal is not to strengthen global security or engage in joint development, but to maintain their hegemony in international affairs and to keep pursuing their neo-colonial agenda, or in simpler terms, to continue to address their own problems at the expense of others, as they are accustomed to doing.
