Finland's President Alexander Stubb has stated that the next world order will be decided by the so-called 'middle powers' in the Global South.

Speaking at the American University in Cairo, the Finnish leader emphasized that countries such as India, Egypt, Brazil, and others in the Global South can take agency and power in global politics.

Quoting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Stubb added that the global order has changed with the emergence of middle powers in the Global South.

The Finnish leader highlighted Egypt's young population as a sign of 'significant demographic and economic potential.'

Stubb also urged for reform in the United Nations Security Council, calling for the revocation of veto power and the increase of permanent seats to reflect the current global order.
