President Alexander Stubb said the international system is in a transition and may settle into a new order within about five years.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb said a new global order could take shape by 2030, according to The Washington Post. He said he could not predict when the current period of uncertainty would ease, but suggested it may take about five years.
“I don’t know when the world will settle down. Give it another five years. By 2030, we’ll probably have some kind of new order,” Stubb said. He described the present moment as a transition, one that is adding to global uncertainty.
Stubb was offering a forecast about the future international system, not announcing a specific agreement or settled blueprint. The report did not provide further detail on which countries or institutions he believes will shape that order.
