Russia, China, and India working together can make multipolarity a reality, Min Aung Hlaing has said
The world should not be controlled by a single power, Myanmar Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing has said in an exclusive interview with RT. A multipolar system is the best approach to avoid conflict, he believes.
In the interview aired on Saturday, the prime minister stressed that developing countries such as Myanmar have especially suffered "under a unipolar system."
"That is why transitioning to a multipolar world works best for us. It is better to share global resources, to act fairly, to distribute things more evenly. Conflicts arise from inequality, so if we want to avoid conflicts, I believe a multipolar system is the best approach," he said.
"The US and Western bloc controlled the world through unipolarity. Then it became bipolar, and from bipolarity it returned to unipolarity. This made the West stronger," Hlaing said.
However, "in this era, Russia, China and India have made tremendous progress militarily, economically and scientifically," the prime minister noted. "As they have advanced, we have moved towards multipolarity and that is how it should be. No single power should control the world," he said.
If Moscow, Beijing and New Delhi, which are "three equally important global powers," collaborate and "act in unison, multipolarity will become a global reality. No one will accept this unipolarity anymore," the Myanmar leader emphasized.
In order to succeed in the multipolar world, smaller countries "must try to cooperate" with Russia, China, and India, he said. "Making that attempt is absolutely worthwhile. We need to develop our own economic capabilities, while simultaneously increasing cooperation with each other," he added.
Hlaing was among the high-ranking foreign guests who visited Moscow for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany on May 9.
Earlier this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that relations between Moscow and Naypyidaw have been developing steadily and had "good potential." In 2024 alone, trade turnover between the two nations increased by 40%, he noted. Putin also expressed gratitude to the leadership of Myanmar for facilitating Russia's cooperation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
