MOSCOW, January 20. /TASS/. Multipolarity is here to stay on the international stage; at some point, we'll still have to agree on how new major players will interact with each other, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a news conference summarizing Russian diplomatic activities in 2025.
"Multipolarity as an objective trend is here to stay. It can't simply be placed under some unipolar or bipolar umbrella. There are already too many centers of economic growth," he said.
According to Lavrov, the current "centers of growth reflect an objective historical process - economic development, infrastructure development, the use of natural resources, and much more."
"Therefore, at some point, we'll still have to agree on how these new major players - whether national or regional - will interact within integration structures," he noted.
Lavrov recalled that "when multipolarity began to gain ground as a major trend, many political scientists and journalists said nothing good would come of it, because it would be tantamount to a return to chaos in international affairs."
