Belarus’ FM compares situation in the world to basketball

MINSK, 1 October (BelTA) – The young team of the Global Majority will defeat the seasoned team of the West, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxim Ryzhenkov told the media, BelTA has learned.

Drawing an analogy with basketball, Maxim Ryzhenkov noted that on one side of the court there are very skilled and seasoned players: the European Union. “For many years they have been accumulating winning points. But nowadays some of them are exhausted, others can hardly move around the court due to internal contradictions, and still others do not move at all, believing they have already scored enough points to win the game,” the minister pointed out.

On the other side of the court, according to him, there is a young and very creative team representing new centers of power. “Starting with China and India, and extending to Africa and Latin America, they have already learned to play in sync and pass the ball quickly. Yes, they are not yet as seasoned and sometimes they may hesitate in their moves. Their coordination may not yet be as good. But they are young. They are prepared and have a lot of potential, unlike those on the other side. And lately, they have been accumulating more points than their opponents,” the diplomat said figuratively. “Where will we be at the end of the game? I still believe in the young team of the Global Majority.”
