ASTANA, 4 July (BelTA) – The “golden billion” represented by the West is not happy about the possibility of a multipolar system, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the SCO+ meeting in Astana on 4 July, BelTA has learned.
“There is a very succinct statement that accurately describes the essence of ongoing processes: “We have not seen such changes in a hundred years, and we are spearheading them together.” [The quote comes from] President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping. Indeed, we are all taking part in fundamental transformations in global politics,” the Belarusian leader stated.
According to him, these changes stem from the rise of a global multipolar system of international security and cooperation. “However, the ‘golden billion’ is not happy about it. The West has built its wealth and established its political, economic and military superiority by colonizing and mercilessly exploiting all other countries for centuries,” the head of state noted. “The Washington-London hegemon is looking at the world as its property. It views the global population not as humans, but as an instrument for achieving its prosperity. This is the bottomline of political economy. This is the main source of numerous international security challenges,” the president remarked.
“This philosophy underpins the conflict in Ukraine. We know why it is still going on. As a result, the world today is in a deep crisis,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
The Belarusian president gave his take on what SCO members can do in this situation. According to him, the best response to challenges in global politics is unity and cohesion. The president urged to create Greater Eurasia and suggested a number of practical steps along this path.
