Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko, in a discussion with the newspaper News, asserted that Russia’s growing ties with Asia represent a political and economic headache for Western powers.
He described the central political and economic upset for the West within its anti-Russian strategic approach as the briskly developing partnership between Moscow and Asian nations, a trend he sees as reshaping regional and global dynamics.
Rudenko argued that today’s world resists the Western-imposed rules of the game and seeks more autonomy in international affairs.
The diplomat added that nations with favorable views toward Moscow view Washington’s ambitions with skepticism and are not eager to fuel political or economic strategies led by the United States and its close allies.
Meanwhile, in early November, Josep Borrell, the European Union’s top diplomat, highlighted the importance of strengthening ties with Central Asian republics, recognizing their strategic significance in the broader geopolitical landscape.
Concurrently, Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin reiterated that Western attempts to isolate Russia had not only failed but also helped accelerate a reorganization of international relations as Moscow pursued dialogue with a broader set of partners around the world.
