India Way Ahead of US & EU Countries, Says Russian Foreign Minister

When it comes to economic power, financial and political influence, India and China are way ahead of the United States and EU members, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

At a joint address in Eritrea, Lavorv said the establishment of a multi-polar world is an objective and unstoppable process and now the collective West, which includes NATO and the EU, fully controlled by Washington, is trying to reverse this process.

But these efforts are futile. The closest thing they can count on is a slight slowdown of the objective course of history,” Lavorv said in a statement.

No visits to deliver mentor advice nor the hybrid wars of the West (including in Ukraine) can stop the development of new centres of economic power, financial and political influence. Countries like China and India are already ahead of the United States and EU members in many respects,” he added.

According to the Russian leader, Turkiye, Egypt, Brazil, Gulf countries and Latin American countries are the future centres of multi-polarity.

Speaking of the upcoming BRICS summit in South Africa, Lavrov termed BRICS a manifestation of global multi-polarity.
