Putin Criticizes WHO

Putin criticized international economic institutions for protecting the interests of a select few developed countries. He called for a new global economic order that would give rapidly growing developing economies a bigger role. He said the world is indeed changing before our eyes. Some of the countries that yesterday seemed hopelessly behind are today the fastest growing economies in the world. He said, that if, 50 years ago, 60 percent of the world's GDP came from G-7 countries, then today it is the other way around.
