Just a few years ago, discussions were confined to the interests of the G7 and other elite groups, but now the world witnesses a gradual shift in this trend, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during the Multipolarity Forum in Moscow.
"Even a few years ago, people only spoke about the interests of the G7 or other exclusive groups. Today, we’re slowly seeing this start to change," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova said.
Russia presents an intellectual alternative to Western neocolonialism. The forum will seek to provide blueprints for economic, technological, and cultural development in a post-Western hegemony world.
"Our formations are open to everybody, and are meant for free and sovereign people," Zakharova added.
Commenting on the Tucker-Putin interview, Zakharova noted that the Russian President Vladimir Putin has been saying the same things he told Tucker Carlson for years, going back to the 2007 Munich Conference.
The reason this interview is being called historic is that the Western media is deliberately trying to keep Russia’s message from the rest of the world, the spokeswoman added.
She also underlined that the dominance of Western media is information colonialism: "Why are you learning about Russia from CNN and Reuters?"
