How Europe can end the Russia-Ukraine war - Kishore Mahbubani
About this episode
Kishore Mahbubani discusses the changing global order and the implications for the Russia-Ukraine war.
For decades veteran Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani has challenged what he sees as Western complacency, warned of the irreversible rise of Asia, and argued that the global order must adapt to a world no longer dominated by Europe and the United States. And now it appears Western leaders have caught up with him as a new world order is declared in the wake of the “rupture”, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called it, of President Trump’s second term. Born into poverty in Singapore, he rose through the country’s foreign service to become its ambassador to the United Nations and then president of the UN security council. He joined Krishnan Guru-Murthy on this episode of Ways to Change the World.
