MULTIPOLARITY ISN’T TREND — IT’S THE FUTURE: Lavrov drops reality check on West

“The most important and defining trend is still the emergence of a multipolar world. We believe this is a natural process,” the Russian foreign minister said at the 33rd Assembly of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy.

The Global South and East see it as a shot at real independence — and a way out of the West’s neo-colonial grip, he noted.

As for the West? Lavrov says they have a very mixed reaction to the growing role of multilateralism in international affairs.
