“The world can no longer allow itself to be dominated by the arrogance and the despotism of one superpower but must instead ensure that the interests of all peoples and nations are safeguarded by international cooperation. To work for the democratisation of the international system is a pressing challenge. It requires the participation of all states and peoples as well as the active popular organisations.
