00:00Multi-polarity, which Marco Rubio recognized, is different.
00:24How can you recognize multi-polarity without recognizing such giant as China, such giant
00:34as India, Africa as a continent, and Latin America, Brazil, and quite a number of others?
00:46Multi-polarity, in my view, would be evolving for quite some time.
00:52It's historic epoch probably.
00:58And it would, that's my vision, it could be composed of superpowers by the size, by the
01:11economic weight, by the military might, especially nuclear, and certainly US, China, Russia fit
01:25into this category.
01:27Those who are not as big, they can participate in a multi-polar world through their sub-regional
01:40structures.
01:41ASEAN, for example, GCC Gulf Cooperation Council, League of Arab States, and African Union,
01:51by the way, received the status of full member of G20 last year, League of Arab States wants
01:58the same, we are in favor.
02:02G20, by the way, is the format which is now proving to be not only financially and economically
02:14useful, but also politically.
02:17It might play a very positive role in the process of multi-polarity.
02:31Yes, there are still remnants of animosity, but the rule of consensus is there.
02:40They don't vote, therefore they are more promising than the United Nations General Assembly,
02:49who every now and then, whenever somebody cannot get something from the Security Council,
02:53they go to the General Assembly and they stage a show with votes, with accusations,
03:02and so on and so forth.
