MOSCOW, September 1. /TASS/. A senior Russian lawmaker has lauded China’s initiative put forth at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit as the first step toward forming a new global center of power.
"The extended session of the SCO summit became the first step toward forming a new center of power of the global majority. Chinese President Xi Jinping’s initiative of global governance has an unprecedented significance," Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the international committee of the Russian State Duma, or lower house of parliament, and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), wrote on his Telegram channel.
"The development of such initiatives under the SCO umbrella can ensure that the interests of a maximally wide range of states will be taken into account and the malpractice of enhancing security of one states at the expense of security of others will be excluded," he noted, adding that all the five points of China’s initiative "fully reflect Russia’s approaches to issues of building a multipolar and fair world order."
"In his speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin fully supported the Chinese leader’s proposals, noting their topicality amid the continuing attempts by the countries of the global 1% to impose their view in global affairs," he stated.
