The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaya Kallas, called the meeting of the heads of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran a direct challenge to the international world order. She voiced her opinion after the end of the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), held in China.

- The Chinese president stands next to the leaders of Russia, Iran and North Korea in Beijing - this is not just an anti-Western position. This is a direct challenge to the international rules-based world order," Callas said.

She described all the bilateral and multilateral meetings in Beijing as the work of "authoritarian leaders to create a new world order." According to Callas, Europe "must confront this new reality."

All the world powers have been paying attention to the events in China these days. So, the Japanese Foreign Ministry also expressed "a href="https://business-magazine.online/fn_1718670.html">concern about the possible formation of a new world order under the leadership of Russia and China.

US President Donald Trump wrote a post saying that the leaders of the Russian Federation, China and North Korea had come together allegedly to plot against the United States. The Kremlin regarded this statement as "a href="https://business-magazine.online/fn_1718379.html" >>as irony. However, later the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, announced that he had received instructions from Donald Trump to prepare the military department.https://business-magazine.online/fn_1718673.html">towards the containment of Russia and China.
