Plenary Session Five: Alternative Views on Future World Order

In this session, the panel discussed the uncertain future of the global world order. Hina Rabbani Khar, foreign minister of Pakistan (2011–13), began by discussing how the world order appears from Pakistan’s perspective. Alexey Pushkov, senator and chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs (2011–16) in Russia, argued that the world is in a state of transition from the system it established in Yalta and Potsdam. During this transition, the world is seeing a declining US and an ascending China which is causing insecurity in the Donald Trump administration. Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the United Arab Emirates to the United Nations, HE Lana Nusseibeh, outlined the role small countries, like the UAE, can play in the shifting global order. The panel ended the discussion by exploring the future for international institutions such as the UN, the IMF and the G7, G8 and G20.
