The world is witnessing major economic changes that imply restructuring of the international financial system, as well as transformation of approaches to financing and technological transfer, explains Kheswar Jankee, ambassador of the Republic of Mauritius to Russia, in an interview with Sputnik.According to the ambassador, international finance strategies must be reconsidered in terms of money transfers in order to advance trade facilitation. He also points out that there is a need to promote technology transfer between countries across the globe.Multipolar World for 'Win-Win' CooperationJankee underlines that as the world is on its way to a multipolar order, every nation should follow its own foreign policy based on its national aspirations, as well as on the interests of its partners to ensure mutually beneficial cooperation. He asserts that countries should take a "neutral position," saying that the new world order means no "demonization" of any region or state.Moreover, he believes that each country knows with which economic partners it can discuss and enhance business and trade relations, what kind of business it will be and how it will be developed in a way that ‘win-win’ cooperation can be built.He also notes that against the backdrop of these global economic upheavals, all the countries and all the regions should cooperate with each other and unite to resolve the most glaring issues, including climate change effects and poverty.Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has recently criticized the West for its efforts to disrupt the Second Russia-Africa Summit scheduled for July. African politicians and experts also confirmed that Western countries are exerting pressure on African states, forcing them to choose sides.Commenting on the issue, the ambassador admits that there are certain "pressures at the international level.” In this regard, he advocates for the provision of “real information,” saying that there is a need for better coverage of global and regional events in the media, as well as political and economic situations in African countries.Organized ahead of the Russia-Africa summit set to be held in St. Petersburg this summer, the congress brought together diplomats and businessmen from African countries and Russia. The main purpose of this forum is to create a permanent platform for a dialogue between the business communities.

Africans 'Know Which Direction to Take' in Multipolar World, Mauritius Ambassador Says
The African International Congress (AIC), a platform for Russian-African business cooperation, is taking place in Moscow from April 5 to 6. On the sidelines of the event, Sputnik sits down with the ambassador of Mauritius to discuss the recent global economic and financial upheavals, which are driving forces for change.
The world is witnessing major economic changes that imply restructuring of the international financial system, as well as transformation of approaches to financing and technological transfer, explains Kheswar Jankee, ambassador of the Republic of Mauritius to Russia, in an interview with Sputnik.
"We are witnessing big changes in the world, especially in the economic world. So we have to review everything because it's not the same as before, 50 or 60 years ago," he explains.
According to the ambassador, international finance strategies must be reconsidered in terms of money transfers in order to advance trade facilitation. He also points out that there is a need to promote technology transfer between countries across the globe.
"We need a new world order in the sphere of economy, with an increasing number of institutions like banks and international agencies that are able to facilitate global business, especially transfer of technology," the diplomat says.
Multipolar World for 'Win-Win' Cooperation
Jankee underlines that as the world is on its way to a multipolar order, every nation should follow its own foreign policy based on its national aspirations, as well as on the interests of its partners to ensure mutually beneficial cooperation. He asserts that countries should take a "neutral position," saying that the new world order means no "demonization" of any region or state.
Moreover, he believes that each country knows with which economic partners it can discuss and enhance business and trade relations, what kind of business it will be and how it will be developed in a way that ‘win-win’ cooperation can be built.
"So I believe that Africans and the continent’s political leaders know which direction to take,” the ambassador stresses.
He also notes that against the backdrop of these global economic upheavals, all the countries and all the regions should cooperate with each other and unite to resolve the most glaring issues, including climate change effects and poverty.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has recently
criticized the West for its efforts to disrupt the Second Russia-Africa Summit scheduled for July. African politicians and experts also confirmed that Western countries are exerting pressure on African states, forcing them
to choose sides.
Commenting on the issue, the ambassador admits that there are certain "pressures at the international level.” In this regard, he advocates for the provision of “real information,” saying that there is a need for better coverage of global and regional events in the media, as well as political and economic situations in African countries.
