The Kremlin has said that it agrees with US President Joe Biden on the need to build a “new world order”, but that it disagrees that the United States is capable of building it, Reuters reports.

In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the US is talking about an “American-centric” world order that would not exist in future.

Peskov said Moscow is in rare agreement with Biden about the need for a new order that, in his words, would be “free from the concentration of all mechanisms of world governance in the hands of one state”. But he said Russia disagreed with Biden about the capacity of the United States to build such a system.
