Russia's Pivot To Asia: Issue 31

This week has given us some potentially globally changing issues, with Russia and China discussing new global architecture and a major blow for Brussels as concerns Eastern European energy supplies. Trump’s new sanctions on Russia will also impact global oil markets with China and India also likely to take reciprocal actions. April will be a chaotic month.

Trade and diplomatic developments in Asia and Africa complete the picture. With best wishes! Russia’s Pivot To Asia
