On October 22, 2024, in Kazan, Russia, 36 nations including three of the world’s top five superpowers, Russia, China, and India came together along with other economic and military heavyweights like Brazil, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, as well as UN and Palestinian leader Mohammed Abbas.These countries together sum up to around 37.4% of global GDP, 40% of global economic growth, 30% of oil production, and 25% of global trade, all of which are big numbers.The main topic of discussion at this summit was the creation of a future where the US and the West do not enjoy the total dominance that it always has. The plan to isolate Russia by the US and its allies has backfired horribly.While the West showed support for Israel, the Palestinian leader was shaking hands with global powers in Kazan.The Kazan declaration was signed at the end of the summit by all attending nations with mainly one aim: challenging Western dominance and to signal a shift in the global order.In this declaration, the recent pager attack carried out by the Israelis was condemned by all nations as a terrorist act: a big blow and humiliation for the US. But the most important topic of the summit was perhaps finding a replacement for the SWIFT network.
