Against the creation of a new one Cold War by dividing the world into coalitions, warns the German chancellor Olaf Solz and calls for every effort to build new partnerships, in an opinion piece published today, Monday (5/12) by Foreign Affairs magazine.
The West must support democratic values and protect open societies, “but we must also avoid the temptation to once again divide the world into coalitions,” Soltz wrote in his article, as reported by the Athens News Agency.
“This means that we must make every effort to build new partnerships, with realism and without ideological blinders” noted the German chancellor.
At the same time, Olaf Solz particularly singled out China and Russia as two countries that pose a threat to a multipolar world, which in order to prevail requires stronger European and transatlantic unity.
The transatlantic partnership remains vital to countering challenges posed by the Russian threat of potential attacks on allied territory, while China’s shift towards isolation and its approach to the Taiwan issue require Europe and North America to create new and stronger partnerships with countries around the world, he wrote.
“The Germans intend to be the guarantors of European security that our allies expect us to be, bridge builders inside the European Union and advocates of multilateral solutions to global problems,” Soltz wrote.
