Finnish President Stubb believes the liberal world order is dying

(Patria) - Finnish President Alexander Stubb believes that the liberal world order is noticeably inferior to multipolar competition, which has enabled developing countries to determine international rules, TASS reported.

"We are living in a new world of disorder," Stubb stated in an article he wrote for Foreign Affairs magazine. "The liberal rules-based order that emerged after the end of World War II is now dying. Multilateral cooperation is giving way to multipolar competition. Opportunistic transactions seem to be more important than defending international rules."

In his opinion, a three-way confrontation is taking place in the world between the "global West, the global East, and the global South".

In April, the Finnish president stated that his country should "mentally prepare" for the restoration of relations with Russia at a political level. However, he said that the prospects for contacts with Moscow depend on the end of the conflict in Ukraine and the development of discussions on restoring relations in general.
