(UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 13th Dec, 2018) Dubai-UAE: 12 December, 2018 – The fate of the world in 2019 will depend on several key factors, including a more productive dialogue between North Korea and the US, Iran’s willingness to return to the negotiating table. This was the clear consensus among the distinguished panelists at the ‘State of the World politics 2019’ session at the Arab Strategy Forum 2018.
"It will be a year of sports," said Bernardino Leon, Director General of the Emirates Diplomatic academy, describing the interesting political arena of 2019. "Between the US and China, we will see not judo or boxing, but rather sumo wrestling, where there are hard blows struck but no blood drawn, and Europe is where chameleons will be busy fighting as nationalist and populist powers rise.
"
Fawaz Gerges, Professor of International Relations at the London school of Economics, expressed the opinion that the best way to make sense of the chequered political arena of 2019 is to focus on key social trends.
Ambassador Dennis Ross, former Special Assistant to US President and Senior Director for the Central Region at the National Security Council, took a more moderate approach and alluded to the fact that it is unlikely the US will ever completely disengage, the rising concerns in Europe are indeed disturbing.
