    The Global South has changed, so will the future of the world 

    TEHRAN – The voice of resistance resonates from the streets of Gaza to the halls of BRICS summits and Shanghai Cooperation Organization meetings. Palestinian students waving their flag at universities around the world, African leaders expelling colonial forces, Latin American politicians asserting the independence of their decisions, and Islamic resistance movements in West Asia that have shaped the ethical and military pillars of the region—all demonstrate that the world no longer accepts the unipolar order dominated by the U.S. and Europe.

    Can the Global South create a unified vision for modernization?

    As the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 begins, the world is at the tipping point of profound geopolitical and economic transformations.
