Challenges of Global Trade and the Need for International Cooperation
The Russian Foreign Ministry also emphasized the importance of strengthening a multipolar global order and stated that international cooperation and support for free trade should be prioritized. The country believes that only through cooperation and the establishment of a fair and balanced trading system can the existing challenges in global trade be addressed. From Russia's perspective, the old unipolar order that some countries are trying to impose on others is no longer effective, and there should be a shift towards a multipolar system where all countries have equal rights to act based on their interests.
These views are expressed at a time when many countries around the world are grappling with multiple economic and political challenges. Concerns about the global economic situation have made such a meeting even more necessary. Russian representatives believe that positive and constructive interactions at the global level can help reduce tensions and improve the economic situation.
At the end of this meeting, the Russian delegation emphasized the need to continue dialogues and international cooperation to solve economic and trade problems and called for the creation of a suitable platform to strengthen international trade. The country hopes that by increasing cooperation and reducing tensions, a sustainable and fair global order can be achieved.
