'West's era over': Europe leader slams US, seeks Indian leadership amid Iran war| Finland| Stubb

Alexander Stubb makes a strong statement on global power shifts during his visit to India, calling for New Delhi to receive a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Speaking amid rising global tensions, including the escalating confrontation between the United States, Israel, and Iran, Stubb said the era of a West-dominated world order is over and urged Europe to rethink its global role. The Finnish president stressed that Europe must move beyond the mindset that its own problems dominate the world stage while ignoring challenges faced by the wider Global South. His remarks highlight a broader geopolitical shift as emerging powers like India gain greater influence in shaping the international order.
