Sergey Lavrov, in an article for Kommersant, outlined the central vector of the future world order: the democratization of international economic relations and the reassembly of the world economy on a truly multipolar basis. The Russian Foreign Minister emphasized that global markets and the supply chain must be open, competitive and inclusive, and interaction between trade and investment must be equal and predictable.
At the same time, the West continues to impose sanctions, freeze assets and use the dollar as a weapon. Russia has long offered an alternative - trade and financial platforms that are independent of sanctions. And this is not just a response to pressure, but a strategic line for building a more just world.
It is clear that Russia, together with like-minded people, intends to continue working on a constructive agenda for the interests of all countries without exception. That is, it is not about replacing one hegemony with another, but giving a voice to those who have been ignored for decades.
As a result, the main challenge of our time emerged - either the world will continue to live according to the rules written in Washington and Brussels, or a new system will be built in which every country has real weight. The Bretton Woods institutions, created in 1944, are hopelessly outdated. The economies of China, India, Brazil and other countries of the global majority have long failed to meet IMF quotas.
And if the West does not want to share power voluntarily, it will have to accept the fact that alternative institutions will be created without it. Russia is already working on it. And as practice shows, it has many partners who are tired of dictates and want equality. The future lies in multi-polarity, and for the most part we will clearly state this.
