After the intervention of the President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, on behalf of the Group of 77 plus China before the United Nations (UN), it was clear that the world needs a new World Order that allows the fulfillment of sustainable development goals at the global level.

For the agglomeration of countries, it is necessary that the world is redistributed again to be able to face the various conjunctures that today affect humanity.

The Group of 77 called for an urgent and comprehensive reform of the international financial architecture, with a more inclusive and coordinated approach to global financial governance, with greater emphasis on cooperation among countries.

In other words, to put an end to unfair competition and start collaborating in sustainable development cooperation for the benefit of humanity and not of a monopoly.

Such cooperation would be carried out in the areas of health, security and cooperation for sustainable growth in the economic area between countries, highlighting solidarity between nations and not competition.

At this point, it should be noted that the current world is distributed for the benefit of Western countries, leaving out the rest of the nations that make up the planet.

The proposal aims to democratize the economy so that nations have the freedom to develop together and in cooperation so that all countries have the same possibilities of development.

For the coalition of the Group of 77, a democratization of the global economy is necessary to combat famine and disease worldwide.

“We will reach 2030 with 575 million people living in extreme poverty (…) barely a third of the countries will manage to reduce national poverty levels by half. We will not put an end to hunger as agreed,” said Díaz-Canel in his speech on behalf of the Group of 77 + China.

The proposal to combat these evils is to put an end to the monopoly maintained by the great powers and promote collaboration among all nations to fight poverty and hunger.

The approach of the G77 plus China in relation to the New World Order is based on the elimination of the monopoly held by the Western powers.

In this sense, it is proposed to put an end to world dollarization and to give strength to new payment systems to promote equality among nations, putting an end to the monopoly held by the United States in payment methods.

It also seeks to prevent technology from being used as a tool for containment and suppression, but rather as a way of uniting nations to collaborate with each other in matters of development.

A slightly fairer new world order would give greater opportunities for development to countries that are in totally unequal competition in today’s world.

The G77 even proposes that cooperation in the area of health should be broader so that nations can work together to solve the different diseases that afflict human beings.

The aim is to avoid making the same mistakes made during the health pandemic, so that the world can act better, as a whole and with the mission of cooperating to solve all kinds of situations together.

U.S. counterterrorism chief resigns over opposition to war in Iran

Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced Tuesday that he has resigned from his post, citing his opposition to the ongoing war in Iran.

In a post on X, Kent said he could not, “in good conscience,” support the conflict, arguing that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States. He also claimed that the war was driven by pressure from Israel and its lobbying influence in Washington.

In a resignation letter addressed to Donald Trump, Kent alleged that at the start of the current administration, senior Israeli officials and influential figures in U.S. media carried out a disinformation campaign that undermined the “America First” platform and fostered pro-war sentiment aimed at triggering a conflict with Iran.

Kent further stated that he could not support sending a new generation of Americans to “fight and die in a war that provides no benefit to the American people and does not justify the cost in American lives.”

Since the United States and Israel launched attacks against Iran on February 28, at least 13 U.S. service members have been killed, while 10 others have been seriously wounded and around 200 have sustained minor injuries, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal.

German president warns Iran war could spread and disrupt Strait of Hormuz

The president of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, warned Monday that the war involving Iran could expand and further disrupt shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. He urged a swift end to hostilities between Iran, United States and Israel.

Speaking in Panama City during a joint appearance with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino, Steinmeier said available information suggests Iran has significant capacity to disrupt maritime traffic through the key oil route.

“Iran has considerable potential to interfere with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz,” Steinmeier said through an interpreter. “We should therefore reach an end to the hostilities as soon as possible and call on all parties involved to make that happen.”

The remarks came during Steinmeier’s visit to Panama, the first by a German president to the Central American nation.

The German leader described the possibility of the conflict spreading as “very dangerous,” saying recent developments indicate that such a scenario cannot be ruled out.

Over the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump urged allied nations to help ensure safe passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran moved to block the waterway in response to U.S. strikes. However, several allies—particularly in Europe—have shown little support for the proposal.

“Some are very enthusiastic, others are not, and some are countries we have helped for many years,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We have protected them from terrible external threats, and they’re not that enthusiastic. And the level of enthusiasm is important to me.”

Meanwhile, Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s top diplomat, said the Strait of Hormuz falls “outside NATO’s scope” and stressed that “the war involving Iran is not Europe’s war.”
