"Recently, at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting I said that the world order as we knew it is gone. We do not live by laws, or international rules. Today we do not even live by a code," the president said. “There are no rules, not codes. The world has been destroyed. So has the world order. Due to the games started by the major powers. As to what awaits [the world], I am absolutely convinced that the unipolar system is gone. Multipolarity is emerging. This process can no longer be stopped, either peacefully or militarily. If this is a true order based on multipolarity, this will be a completely different configuration that will ensure a great stability on our planet, which will rely on many pillars.
Among these pillars, Aleksandr Lukashenko named the United States, the European Union, China, and India. Also, according to him, the countries of Africa and the Middle East will have a role to play too. "I would like the post-Soviet space to close ranks as much as possible, and also act as one of the pillars," the Belarusian leader added.
