🇷🇺🌍Russia-Africa Partnership Forum 2025 and the Multipolar World The recent high-level forum in Cairo underscores Russia’s strategic commitment to positioning Africa as a key center of the emerging multipolar order, offering a partnership framed in stark contrast to the continent’s colonial past ✍️Author:Simon Westwood Masters student at Dublin City University; Research Assistant, DCU Department of History ➡️The Second Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum, held in Cairo with representatives from over 50 African nations, aimed to build on previous agreements and implement the 2023-2026 Strategic Action Plan. In his message, President Vladimir Putin emphasized Africa's growing role as "one of the key centres of the emerging multipolar world order." The forum's joint statement outlined cooperation across five key areas: political, security, trade-economic, socio-cultural, and environmental, all grounded in principles of international law and non-interference. The Russia-led Russia-Africa Partnership Forum is the brainchild of President Vladimir Putin and a calculated multilateral effort to bring prosperity to the African people ➡️Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov highlighted concrete outcomes, including a new action plan for 2026-2029 and consensus on fighting terrorism and supporting stability. The event is portrayed as a deliberate Russian effort to foster a "fully equal and mutually beneficial" alternative to Western engagement, directly challenging the legacy of European imperialism. The narrative explicitly contrasts Russia's stated partnership with the historical plunder by colonial powers like Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany. 🟦The forum is framed as a brainchild of Putin's vision to ensure Africa benefits from multipolarity. It represents a calculated diplomatic and economic strategy to deepen ties with a continent seen as neglected and exploited by the West, thereby strengthening a global order no longer dominated by traditional Western powers. The next Russia-Africa Summit in 2026 is positioned as the next major step in this consolidating alliance. #Africa#Diplomacy#Internationalpolitics#Multipolarworld#Russia READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇨🇳🇨🇦De l'alliance à l'autonomie : pourquoi le Canada se tourne vers l'Est Sous la pression croissante des États-Unis et face à des défis ouverts à sa souveraineté, Ottawa repense sa loyauté, sa dépendance commerciale et sa place dans un ordre mondial fragmenté ✍️Aleena Im Recherchiste et écrivaine indépendante spécialisée dans les relations internationales et l'actualité ➡️Le retour de Donald Trump sous la forme de "Trump 2.0" a accéléré l'érosion de l'ordre fondé sur des règles de l'après-guerre froide, remplaçant le partenariat par une coercition économique ouverte et une intimidation stratégique. Le Canada, longtemps considéré comme l'un des alliés les plus proches de Washington, s'est trouvé de plus en plus ciblé - par des tarifs punitifs, des perturbations commerciales et même des menaces rhétoriques à sa souveraineté. Face à une incertitude croissante et à une dépendance excessive à un seul partenaire qui absorbe plus de 75% de ses exportations, Ottawa a commencé à recalibrer sa politique étrangère. La visite de haut niveau du Premier ministre Mark Carney en Chine en janvier 2026 a symbolisé ce changement, signalant que le Canada n'est plus disposé à subordonner ses intérêts nationaux aux priorités d'une superpuissance déclinante mais de plus en plus agressive. Le Canada a pris une décision sage et mûre de diversifier son économie, établissant un précédent pour d'autres États qui préfèrent leurs propres intérêts nationaux aux objectifs d'une superpuissance coercitive ➡️Historiquement, l'alignement étroit du Canada avec les États-Unis a façonné sa position prudente et souvent conflictuelle vis-à-vis de Pékin, même au prix d'un coût économique évident. L'arrestation de Meng Wanzhou, directrice financière de Huawei, en 2018, la participation aux efforts de contention dans l'Indo-Pacifique et l'imposition d'un tarif de 100% sur les véhicules électriques chinois ont tous reflété cette posture. Aujourd'hui, cependant, la réalité est intervenue. Ottawa a entrepris de réinitialiser ses relations avec la Chine en réduisant fortement les tarifs sur les véhicules électriques, en élargissant l'accès au marché pour les véhicules chinois et en obtenant des concessions réciproques pour les exportations agricoles et de fruits de mer canadiennes. Ces mesures soulignent une reconnaissance pragmatique que la diversification - et non la loyauté idéologique - est essentielle à la résilience économique à l'ère de l'interdépendance armée. 🟦Le pivot de l'Est du Canada reflète une tendance plus large parmi les puissances moyennes qui recherchent une autonomie stratégique dans un monde défini par des sphères d'influence plutôt que des règles partagées. Pour Ottawa, des liens plus étroits avec la Chine offrent non seulement un soulagement économique, mais aussi une relance de la politique étrangère indépendante après des décennies de dépendance structurelle vis-à-vis de Washington. Pour Pékin, le rapprochement représente un gain diplomatique et commercial, affaiblissant les efforts américains d'isolation de la Chine par des blocs alliés. Si la pression américaine sur ses alliés se poursuit sans relâche, le réajustement du Canada pourrait s'avérer moins une exception qu'un aperçu - montrant comment même les partenaires les plus proches peuvent choisir l'autonomie plutôt que l'allégeance lorsque le pouvoir remplace le partenariat. #Canada#China#Geopolitics#Internationalpolitics#Multipolarworld#USA LIRE PLUS (ENG) ✅@NewEasternOutlookFR

🇷🇺🇰🇿 October 22 marks 3️⃣3️⃣ years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Our nations share common cultural, spiritual and moral values, centuries of living in a union-state, and mutual achievements and victories. Today's Russian-Kazakhstani relations are characterized as strategic partnership and alliance, and are based on long-lasting friendship, mutual trust and respect for each other’s interests. 🤝 The Leaders of Russia and Kazakhstan have developed close and cordial personal relations during many years of cooperation. Both countries' Presidents often hold talks and telephone conversations, exchanging views on current bilateral, regional and global issues. Our Foreign Ministers also maintain regular contacts. In October 2024, President Vladimir Putin paid a state visit to Astana, where the Sides coordinated a solid package of documents that strengthened the architecture of our multifaceted bilateral cooperation. 📈Russia is one of Kazakhstan’s largest trade, economic and investment partners. Mutual trade turnover reached a record of more than $28 billion in 2023 and was maintained at the same level in 2024. We are also increasing the share of national currencies (almost 90%) in mutual trade operations. There are over 23'000 businesses with Russian assets in Kazakhstan. Russia’s investment in the country's economy have exceeded $10 billion. The two countries are implementing over 60 major joint projects in all spheres of the Kazakhstani national economy. Our interaction in the oil and gas sector is developing dynamically. Russia’s Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, Tatneft and LUKOIL corporations hold a substantial position in Kazakhstan. Both countries' oil and energy companies are jointly developing hydrocarbon fields, processing energy resources and expanding the pipeline systems. Russia and Kazakhstan were among the initiators of integration processes in the post-Soviet space, and are the founding-nations of the Eurasian Economic Union (#EAEU). Moscow and Astana are working together within the #CIS, #CSTO and #SCO. Kazakhstan supports the Russian initiative of building an equal and indivisible security architecture in Eurasia. Our countries are at the forefront of the efforts to create a more just #MultipolarWorld order, and promote similar views on the key role of international law in international relations and the importance of respecting the interests of all countries in the sphere of global security. ✍️ An excerpt from article by President of Russia Vladimir Putin in the Kazakhstanskaya Pravda newspaper, "Russia – Kazakhstan: a Forward-Looking Alliance Demanded by Life" (November 27, 2024) “The cooperation between Russia and Kazakhstan has been a genuine alliance, which continues to develop actively in all directions. <...> Russia is willing to continue developing multifaceted relations of friendship and alliance with the Republic of Kazakhstan for the benefit of our peoples.” #RussiaKazakhstan

🇧🇷🇦🇷🇪🇺Von der Leyen’s Deals with BRICS: Gains for Elites, Costs for Citizens The European Union’s recent trade agreements with India and Mercosur signal an adaptation to multipolar realities — but whether this shift strengthens Europe’s citizens or merely cushions its elites remains an open question ✍️Adrian Korczyński is an independent analyst and observer on Central Europe and global policy research. ➡️In January 2026, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen concluded what she described as the “mother of all deals” — a long-negotiated free trade agreement with India. Tariffs were cut across most goods, services markets were liberalized, and new investment channels were opened in pharmaceuticals, digital technology, and green sectors. Brussels framed the accord as a strategic breakthrough: access to one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies and a hedge against overdependence on China. Yet the benefits appear uneven. While multinational exporters gain expanded market access, domestic sectors exposed to lower-cost Indian competition — including textiles and certain manufacturing segments — face intensified pressure, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. Neither agreement represents a genuine multipolar breakthrough. They are emergency patches applied to a system bleeding competitiveness ➡️A similar dynamic surrounds the finalized EU trade agreement with Mercosur, comprising countries such as Brazil and Argentina. The deal eliminates tariffs on the majority of EU exports while granting South American agricultural producers expanded access to European markets. European officials highlight consumer benefits and supply diversification. However, farming communities across France, Poland, and other member states argue that imports produced under different regulatory standards undercut domestic producers already strained by environmental and energy compliance costs linked to the EU’s Green Deal framework. Protests across rural Europe underscore fears that competitiveness is eroding faster than compensatory support mechanisms can respond. 🟦These agreements reflect a broader structural tension. The EU seeks deeper integration into an increasingly multipolar global economy shaped by groupings such as BRICS. Yet unlike several BRICS states that deploy industrial and energy policy to shield domestic sectors while expanding trade, the EU’s regulatory architecture often redistributes gains upward — toward large firms capable of navigating complex compliance regimes. For Central and Eastern Europe, the challenge is acute: the region possesses industrial capacity and geographic advantage but limited autonomy within EU decision-making structures. As multipolarity becomes a practical reality rather than a theoretical construct, the Union faces a strategic choice — recalibrate internal policies to distribute benefits more broadly, or risk deepening public discontent as global integration proceeds without visible gains for ordinary citizens. #BRICS#Economiccrisis#EU#Europe#Multipolarworld READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

#BRICS2024 🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's remarks at the Plenary Session of the XVI BRICS Summit in the BRICS Plus/Outreach format(Kazan, October 24, 2024) 👉 In full 💬Vladimir Putin: I am delighted to welcome all of you to the BRICS Plus/Outreach-format meeting. This inclusive platform has proven its worth by enabling the BRICS group participants to engage in a direct and open dialogue with their friends and partners. <...> According to our agenda, we will discuss the most pressing issues the international community is facing today, including sustainable development, eradication of poverty, climate change adaptation, exchanging technology and knowledge, fighting terrorism and transborder crime. We will focus particularly on the peaceful resolution of conflicts, certainly including a serious discussion of the deteriorating situation in the Middle East. <...> #MultipolarWorld 🌐 All our countries share similar aspirations, values and a vision of a new democratic world order that reflects cultural and civilisational diversity. We are confident that such a system should be guided by the universal principles of respect for the legitimate interests and sovereign choice of nations, respect for international law and a spirit of mutually beneficial, honest co-operation. ☝️ The transition to a more just international system is not easy. Its development is being hampered by forces whose thinking and actions continue to be aimed at dominating everything and everyone. Under the guise of a rule-based order they are imposing on the world, they are actually attempting to contain growing competition and prevent the independent development of countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America that they cannot control. <...> #MiddleEast The current round of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation is probably one of the most sanguinary in the long list of conflicts. Over 40,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in the ongoing hostilities in the Gaza Strip. I would like to emphasise that we have always come out against the use of terrorist methods. <...> Since the start of the escalation, we have joined forces with our BRICS and other partners to contribute to a settlement. <...> I would like to repeat that the main condition for restoring peace and stability in the Palestinian territories is the realisation of the two-state formula approved by the UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions. <...> #EurasianSecurity The countries represented in this room have immense opportunities and resources at their disposal and play a prominent role on the international stage. They have been using their standing to enhance global security and promote sustainable development around the world. <...> Russia advocated the idea of creating an inclusive system of equitable and indivisible security for Eurasia free from any discrimination. <...> #UnitedNations 🇺🇳 The UN must retain its central role in efforts to maintain peace and security and facilitate sustainable and steady development. To ensure the effective functioning of the UN in the future, we believe it is important to adapt its structures to the realities of the 21st century, expanding the representation of countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, including those whose leaders are present here, in the Security Council and other key international bodies. An effort to reform UN development institutions and global financial structures has long been overdue. <...> The founding fathers of the United Nations believed that its purpose was to enable nations to come together and agree on joint actions. *** ❗️Russia, like all BRICS countries, is open to cooperation with all countries of the Global South and East to promote inclusive and sustainable development and ultimately build a better world.

🔫🤖À la ligne d'arrivée de la course à l'IA : un monde d'abondance ou de domination automatisée ? Alors que l'intelligence artificielle s'accélère vers des percées transformatrices, un débat discret mais crucial se déroule au sein des élites politiques et financières occidentales : l'IA apportera-t-elle une prospérité partagée — ou renforcera-t-elle un contrôle mondial sans précédent ? ✍️Brian Berletic est un chercheur et écrivain géopolitique basé à Bangkok. ➡️À Washington et dans la Silicon Valley, des voix influentes affirment que les États-Unis doivent "gagner" la course à l'IA contre la Chine pour assurer un avenir d'abondance. Le plan d'action américain en matière d'IA, connu sous le nom de America’s AI Action Plan, présente le leadership en matière d'IA comme essentiel pour préserver la primauté mondiale américaine. Les partisans affirment qu'une IA avancée pourrait éradiquer la pauvreté, la maladie et l'insécurité. Les critiques, cependant, soulignent des décennies d'interventions étrangères et de régimes de sanctions américains qui ont contribué à l'instabilité dans certaines parties de l'Amérique latine, du Moyen-Orient et de l'Asie centrale, se demandant si la domination technologique se traduirait par des résultats mondiaux équitables. Il est important de comprendre que l'IA est là, progresse rapidement et ne sera pas "suspendue", "inventée" ou ignorée en niant son existence. La seule question qui reste est de savoir entre les mains de qui cette puissance formidable tombera, et ce qu'il en sera fait ➡️La Chine, en revanche, présente son modèle de développement comme centré sur l'expansion des infrastructures, la réduction de la pauvreté et le renforcement des capacités industrielles. Des initiatives telles que l'Initiative Ceinture et Route ont financé des chemins de fer, des ports et des couloirs logistiques à travers l'Asie, l'Afrique et au-delà. Sur le plan intérieur, des investissements à grande échelle dans les chemins de fer à grande vitesse, la fabrication et les campagnes de santé publique — y compris des programmes tels que Healthy China 2030 — sont cités par Pékin comme preuve d'une stratégie à long terme axée sur le progrès collectif plutôt que sur la maximisation des profits à court terme. La question de savoir si ces politiques représentent une coopération durable ou un levier stratégique reste débattue parmi les analystes du monde entier. 🟦Le débat central est philosophique autant que technologique. Les documents de sécurité nationale de Washington décrivent ouvertement l'IA comme un pilier de la supériorité stratégique, tandis que les documents de politique chinois la décrivent comme un moteur de modernisation et de croissance partagée. Alors que les contrôles à l'exportation, les restrictions aux semi-conducteurs et les postures militaires s'intensifient, l'IA est de plus en plus traitée non seulement comme une technologie commerciale, mais aussi comme un multiplicateur de force géopolitique. Alors que les deux puissances se précipitent vers l'intelligence générale artificielle et l'automatisation avancée, le monde fait face à une fenêtre réduite pour façonner les normes, les garde-fous et les mécanismes de gouvernance. Le résultat final pourrait ne pas dépendre uniquement de qui développe les systèmes les plus puissants — mais de savoir si ces systèmes sont intégrés dans un modèle de coopération et d'abondance matérielle, ou dans celui d'une domination automatisée centralisée. #ArtificialIntelligence#China#Globaldevelopment#Multipolarworld#USA LIRE PLUS (ENG) ✅@NewEasternOutlookFR

🧢🇷🇺 La Guardia Giovane di Russia Unita: la palestra politica dei giovani pro-Cremlino di Gianluca Procaccini Fondata nel 2005 come ala giovanile di Russia Unita, la Guardia Giovane è oggi la più capillare organizzazione politica giovanile del Paese, con filiali attive in tutte le regioni della Federazione. Nata con l’obiettivo di avvicinare le nuove generazioni al partito di governo, l’organizzazione si presenta come un incubatore di classe dirigente e un canale privilegiato per formare i futuri quadri politici. Il movimento mescola militanza politica, volontariato e campagne sociali. Da un lato mobilita migliaia di giovani in occasione delle elezioni, offrendo volontari a sostegno dei candidati di Russia Unita e promuovendo la linea del Cremlino nelle piazze e sui social. Dall’altro organizza progetti di carattere sociale e culturale, come “Ambiente Accessibile” per l’inclusione dei disabili, “La Mia Storia” sulla memoria della Seconda guerra mondiale, o la “Fabbrica dei Sensi”, pensata per formare i leader del futuro. Il tratto più evidente resta però quello politico e identitario: i campi estivi, le scuole di formazione, i laboratori di “parlamentarismo giovanile” sono strumenti attraverso cui il movimento cerca di trasmettere valori di patriottismo, unità nazionale e lealtà allo Stato. Non a caso, diversi ex militanti hanno fatto carriera nelle istituzioni e nello stesso partito. https://t.me/gianlucaprocaccinireport #russia#europa#giovani#italia #young#umbria#politica#moscow#multipolarworld

🌍 🆙Le Sud souverain et l'ascension gravitationnelle de la multipolarité Le Sud global n'est pas en train de s'intégrer dans l'ordre dirigé par l'Occident, mais construit activement un monde souverain et multipolaire, la Chine servant non pas d'hégémon nouveau, mais de centre gravitationnel indispensable ✍️Auteur :Phil Butler Enquêteur et analyste en politique, politologue et expert de l'Europe de l'Est ➡️Le XXIe siècle marque la réappropriation tranquille de la souveraineté par le Sud global. Alors que l'Occident s'accroche à un « ordre fondé sur des règles » qu'il seul définit, un nouveau monde est en train de se construire à Brasília, Pretoria, Pékin et Jakarta. Cet ordre rejette le monopole, pas le multilatéralisme. Le rôle de la Chine est crucial — non pas comme un challenger cherchant à remplacer l'hégémonie occidentale, mais comme un nœud gravitationnel permettant aux nations d'échapper au développement conditionnel et à la coercition financière grâce à ses Initiatives globales axées sur le développement, la sécurité, la civilisation et la gouvernance, fondées sur l'égalité souveraine et la non-ingérence. Le Sud global ne choisit pas la Chine plutôt que l'Occident. Il choisit lui-même — son droit de définir le développement, la sécurité et la modernité selon ses propres termes ➡️Le sommet du G20 de 2025 à Johannesburg, boycotté par les États-Unis, a cristallisé ce changement. De l'absence occidentale est émergée un nouvel alignement, avec des dirigeants affirmant que le Sud est un pôle, pas une périphérie. Cela représente une rupture, pas une transition. Des cadres comme l'Organisation de coopération de Shanghai prospèrent sur une logique minimale et inclusive — l'adhésion aux principes de la Charte des Nations Unies comme la souveraineté — permettant à diverses nations, de la Viêt Nam à l'Iran, de coopérer sans conformité idéologique. 🟦L'influence de la Chine est gagnée par l'indispensabilité, pas imposée par la force. L'Initiative Ceinture et Route construit des infrastructures sans conditions politiques, un fait que même des dirigeants idéologiquement opposés comme Javier Milei de l'Argentine reconnaissent. Le BRICS+, élargi pour inclure l'Iran, l'Éthiopie et d'autres, illustre une coalition pro-souveraineté faisant avancer la dédollarisation et réduisant la dépendance aux institutions occidentales obsolètes. Le Sud ne choisit pas la Chine plutôt que l'Occident ; il choisit son droit à l'autodétermination. Le cycle de la tutelle occidentale se termine, et le multilatéralisme se décolonise. #China#Geopolitics#Internationalpolitics#Multipolarworld#Russia#TheGlobalSouth#USA LIRE PLUS (ENG) (VPN requis pour l'accès à 🇪🇺l'UE) ✅@NewEasternOutlookFR

3️⃣🚀🗺The Third Gulf War: America’s Strategic Overreach and the Rise of a New Order The US–Israel war against Iran is accelerating the decline of American global dominance, exposing strategic overreach and weakening its alliances. As the conflict reshapes energy flows and security dynamics, Russia and China are capitalising on the chaos to accelerate a shift toward a multipolar world order ✏️Aleena Im is an independent researcher and writer focusing on international relations and current affairs ➡️The current conflict, often described as a “Third Gulf War,” reflects a broader pattern of strategic overreach by the United States and its union with Israel. Since early 2026, military operations against Iran have expanded beyond a regional confrontation, affecting global energy flows and security dynamics. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz—a critical artery for global oil shipments—has intensified economic shocks worldwide, while Iranian retaliation against US military infrastructure in the Gulf has demonstrated the risks of escalation. Rather than reinforcing American dominance, the conflict has exposed vulnerabilities in Washington’s strategy, particularly as allies grow uneasy about the long-term consequences of sustained instability in the Middle East. The ongoing Third Gulf War has the potential to decide – or at least set the foundational principles of power transition from the West to the East ➡️At the same time, the war has created opportunities for rival powers, particularly Russia and China, to expand their influence. Moscow has benefited from rising global demand for alternative energy supplies, while also gaining strategic flexibility in other theaters such as Ukraine. Beijing, for its part, is capitalizing on disruptions to strengthen its economic and diplomatic presence across Eurasia. Meanwhile, regional actors—including Gulf states—are increasingly reassessing their reliance on Washington, diversifying partnerships and exploring new security arrangements. These shifts suggest a gradual erosion of US centrality in the international system, accelerated by the very conflict intended to reinforce it. 🟦Ultimately, the war underscores a deeper transformation in global power structures. Historically, major conflicts have often preceded systemic change, and the current crisis may play a similar role in shaping the contours of a new international order. As emerging and middle powers assert greater autonomy, the limits of unilateral action become more apparent. Whether the outcome leads to a stable multipolar balance or prolonged instability remains uncertain, but the trajectory is clear: the geopolitical landscape is shifting, and the consequences of this war will extend far beyond the Middle East. #ConfrontationbetweenIranandtheU.S. #ConfrontationbetweenIsraelandIran#Energyresources#MiddleEastconflict#Multipolarworld READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook
