The SCO’s evolving multilateral cooperation structures, which gather countries focusing on economic development independent from the nebulous, hegemonic “rules-based order,” are aligned with the BRI’s emphasis on trade and connectivity. Even the Modi government in India is reconsidering its reliance on western blocs, where New Delhi is at best a neo-colonized “partner.”

How the IMF fishes in troubled waters
However, the demonic deep dark state was opposed to cooperating with ‘autonomous’ nations. They all had to abide by the orders sent from on high by the Gates, Rockefeller, Soros, and other wealthy elite, who would soon be joined by Klaus Schwab, the main henchman of the World Economic Forum. Brazil suddenly experiences a sharp increase in new “cases,” with no questions asked and extensive testing, despite the fact that the famed PCR tests, according to the majority of reputable scientists, are useless (only sold and corrupted scientists, those paid by national authorities, would still insist on the RT-PCR tests). As the Brazilian economy collapses and Bolsonaro contracts the virus, the death toll rises rapidly.
Read moreChanging religious-political dynamics in the Middle East to affect religious fault lines in South Asia
Connections between BJP and Israel have grown more obvious as a result of the fact that the Muslim has traditionally been a symbol of the other, in relation to which political identity was established for adherents of Hindutva ideology. Zionists must confront the Islamic world because they are political Hindus. In addition to not being Muslim or Christian, the state’s foundation is its own national religious tradition, which appeals to Hindutva adherents. The BJP made an effort to retain strong relations with Israel during the Cold War, in contrast to the Congress, which has consistently backed Palestine. India has become Israel’s top customer for military hardware, and Israel is currently India’s second-largest arms supplier.
Read moreD-8 can play a pivotal role in multipolar world
The present world economic scenario offers D-8 a broadened scope. The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) multilateral trade regime lost its momentum as a result of wealthy countries’ noncompliance and member states’ lack of cooperation. The lengthy characteristics of the WTO’s system may be due to international politics and disagreements between the USA and China, LDC versus developed members, and lastly the voluntary nature of implementation capacity.
Read moreIs Pakistan’s fragile political system heading towards a revolution?
Khan’s danger of seizing control once more appears to be eliminated by a portion of the powerful army. Shahbaz Gill, one of his aides, was charged with sedition and accused of attempting to stir up unrest among the troops. Khan has accused the government of temporarily limiting access to his talks on YouTube, and his allies in the media and civil service claim they have recently experienced an uptick in harassment.
Read moreExploring Dhaka’s options in a multipolar world
In its interactions with more powerful and adversarial nations thus far, Bangladesh has demonstrated diplomatic maturity and poise. A troubled polarization of the region between China and India has resulted from the Bay of Bengal’s recent reemergence of its strategic significance. The US involvement in the Indo-Pacific area has also increased, and Washington is working harder than ever to restrict China by establishing an axis with India in the Bay of Bengal. Bangladesh, an Indian Ocean littoral nation, has assumed a more significant role in these circumstances. In the midst of this escalating geopolitical conflict, it has had to play smart.
Read moreWhy should Bangladesh be reticent of borrowing money from the IMF and the World Bank?
Is the nation and society merely a slave labor camp, a source of raw materials, and a captive market for the economies of the west, where the populace consumes goods, they do not produce? If not, society, the economy, and the politics must be built up to foster and direct everyone’s efforts toward a different set of objectives and the institutions that may help them be achieved. Before interacting with the economies of the west, Bangladesh, a big part of eastern civilizations, must also figure out how to group its competitive advantages, turn them into a market strength, and connect them regionally. New options must be dotted upon, to circumvent unfair and unjustified US-led western sanctions. If necessary, bilateral and multilateral trade must be carried through alternative currencies.
Read moreWith sheer hypocrisy, USA picks its ‘human rights report’ to demonize the government of Bangladesh
The west led by the USA acts as the world’s police and courts. In the banner of “human rights stand superior to state sovereignty,” they always want to meddle in the internal affairs of other nations and will even go to war to achieve this. Many people’s human rights have been gravely abused by such actions all around the world. Tens of thousands of people have died and tens of thousands more have been hurt or made homeless in the Iraq War alone. Still, some western nations are willing to lecture others on human rights issues and criticize other nations they don’t agree with since they market themselves as “developed” and “democracy.”These western nations, who fought two world wars and arming to the teeth for the third, view “human rights” as their own concept and believe that it can only be established in accordance with their norms. Their hypocrisy, in the name of ‘human rights’, will have terrible effects on the global human rights movement and the implementation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Read moreThe future of Japan and Bangladesh cooperation against the backdrop of a major power rivalry
However, Japan’s alignment with Quad and rising friction with China, a strategic partner of Bangladesh, is raising the chance of future complications for Bangladesh. Jolted by the Ukraine war and China’s assertiveness, Japan is looking to boost its defense capability, which is embraced a pacifist outlook after its defeat in the Second World War. Public opinion polls and commentators have found that since the end of the Ukraine conflict, the Japanese people have been steadily turning away from pacifism. While the world’s attention is on the situation in Russia and Ukraine, U.S. and NATO hostilities with China and North Korea are escalating substantially halfway across the globe in the Pacific Ocean, thus leading to the state of unease in Japan. Since the Obama administration’s “Pivot to Asia,” which was created in part to divert attention away from the decision to surge troops in Afghanistan and Iraq in the failed U.S. war strategies in the Middle East, the U.S. military’s naval and air presence in the Western Pacific has steadily increased.

More than 1.8 billion people who reside in South Asia need economic solvency, improvement in social indicators and peace through political stability. Development is being impeded by the intensifying geopolitical competition, particularly between and among China, Russia, and the United States. This “great power competition,” which includes the dispute over the South China Sea, is…
