The hereafter belongs to the multipolar domain, but edifice it testament non come without a struggle, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
During an interview with RT on Thursday, dedicated to Diplomatic Workers’ Day, Zakharova was asked if the current instability on the international stage was connected to the emergence of a polycentric model.
“Yes, we are certainly moving towards a polycentric world. But this polycentric world is not chaos,” the spokeswoman replied.
The new global order will “feature centers of power that will possess specific characteristics. These poles will be built based on economic, geopolitical, logistical, and civilizational capabilities,” she explained.
According to Zakharova, the shift will not happen overnight and “will have to be fought for.”
She warned about “the desire and aspiration of a certain group of countries to once again play the game of exceptionalism and global dominance from a position of strength. And perhaps some will want to reinvent some kind of… unipolar world.”
The trends when “whoever is stronger is right” will likely “gain momentum” in the coming years, the spokeswoman suggested, adding however that this was the case throughout most of human history.
Zakharova argued that only in the 20th century was there a “brief historical moment” when the leading nations “dealt with countries that were less developed, less wealthy, less successful… not from a position of strength, power or aggression, but from a position of equality” and international law.
In order for this moment to arrive, “many laid down their lives during World War II... Precisely in the struggle for equality, for genuine freedom. We mustn’t forget that it had to be fought for. And the same thing is happening now,” Zakharova said.
Russia and leading international analysts forecast that the “multipolar world is the future,” the spokeswoman stressed, adding that “the global majority bases its policies on this same concept.”
