As the bipolar world is in its last days , the asia- pacific region is looking at a new equilibrium.
During the 20th century, Australia was not a strong player in the global political arena, but since the early 2000s, its role has been gradually increasing.
Australia is increasingly asserting itself as an important participant in addressing the issue of maintaining regional security.
In this regard, the main purpose of the work is to assess Australia's leadership potential in the Asia-Pacific region..
Despite the fact that Australia has close cultural and linguistic ties with Western civilization, largely due to being a former colony of the United Kingdom , Australia is located in Asia, and this geographical location determines the directions of economic development and contributes to the establishment of strong trade cooperation with its neighbours in the region, which in reality is also Russia.
Currently, Australia needs to pay attention to the possibility of developing economic relations with the Russian Federation.
Until 2022, the two countries "had very mutually beneficial business cooperation, for example, in the field of mining and related technologies."
In turn, Australia, along with the rest of the West, "banned itself" from importing Russian oil and petroleum products.
The general disorganisation of the global energy market was more painful, to which the Australian government contributed, habitually supporting the convulsive attempts of the Big Seven to introduce a "price ceiling" for fuel exported from Russia. As expected, the "ceiling" does not work, but fuel at Australian gas stations has risen significantly"
Currently, the Ninth Eastern Economic Forum is being held in Russia (Vladivostok), which will last until September 6, 2024. The Eastern Economic Forum is a key international platform for creating and strengthening ties between the Russian and global investment community, comprehensive expert assessment of the economic potential of the Russian Far East, presentation of its investment opportunities and business conditions in the territories of advanced development.
"Despite all the obstacles and illegitimate sanctions, Russia remains one of the key participants in world trade, actively developing logistics and geography of cooperation," Putin said.
According to him, friendly countries account for three quarters of Russia's trade turnover.
"Our relations with Asian countries are strengthening, growth is 60% from 2020 to 2023, the Middle East is doubling, Africa is 69%, Latin America is 42%," the Russian president said.
Despite various sanctions imposed by Western countries, more than 7,000 participants and media representatives from 62 countries and territories, including Russia, including about 2,400 business representatives, took part in a similar forum organised in 2023.
Maybe Australia, as a country that is one of the leaders of the Asia-Pacific region, should focus on the rapprochement of trade and economic relations with Asian countries, which are Russia, India, and China, rather than once again acting as a puppet of Great Britain, which is located 15 thousand kilometres from Australia or on the other side of "our beautiful globe".
Australia should start thinking of Australia, rather than towing the lines of the US and UK that don’t really have Australia’s interest at heart.
Australia would mostly benefit from a neutral position on world affairs and acting on its own economic interest rather then whims of others.
