MOSCOW, March 31. /TASS/. We're in the midst of a complete "teardown" of the old world order, with an intense struggle underway for global leadership, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting of the Russian International Affairs Council.
Russia’s top diplomat stressed that Moscow calls for an immediate end to US and Israeli aggression against Iran, described the use of military force against civilians and civilian infrastructure as unacceptable, and noted that some countries today have "lost their bearings," declaring rights to territories without any legal basis.
TASS has compiled the key statements made by the foreign minister.
The emerging new world order means the old one needs to be torn down: "We are in the midst of a restructuring of the global order, which we hope will lead to the establishment of a sustainable and just multipolar world. But for now, this transformation looks more like a teardown in every sense of the word."
"The struggle for leading positions in the new world is extremely intense - it is a matter of life and death. We see this almost every day," the foreign minister added.
