No single power should control the world – Myanmar PM
Myanmar’s Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing argues against global dominance by any single power, advocating instead for a multipolar world where Russia, China, and India collaborate to balance international influence. His remarks suggest a push for regional alliances as a counterweight to Western hegemony.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about Myanmar—it’s part of a bigger conversation about how power is distributed globally. With tensions already high between major players, calls for multipolarity signal a shift away from U.S.-centric dominance, which could reshape trade, security, and diplomacy in unpredictable ways. Keep an eye on how these alliances develop; they might define the next era of international relations.
