"The African Union (AU) is a continental body consisting of the 55 member states that make up the countries of the African Continent. It was established to promote the unity and solidarity of African countries, defend state sovereignty, eradicate colonialism, promote international cooperation, and coordinate and harmonize Member States’ policies. The AU supports political and economic integration among its 54 member nations. It aims to boost development, eradicate poverty and bring Africa into the global economy. In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Building on the principle of “leaving no one behind”, the new Agenda emphasizes a holistic approach to achieving sustainable development for all. These goals include: No poverty, Zero hunger, Gender equality, and Reduced inequality. Despite the wide-ranging goals, anti-racism or anti-Blackness is not one such objective. There is also no mention of the effects of colonisation on the development of countries that were formerly colonised. "

The landlocked and mountainous Laos aims to become the "Battery of Southeast Asia" to boost its economy and escape its prolonged poverty by exporting hydropower electricity harnessed through its dams on the Mekong River system to its richer neighbours.

Đạt Lai Lạt Ma là thủ lĩnh tôn giáo của người Tây Tạng và được chọn ra nhờ quá trình tâm linh. Đạt Lai Lạt Ma thứ 14 được chọn vào năm 1940 và sau quá trình bị đàn áp của người Trung Quốc vào những năm 50, ông đã vượt dãy Himalaya để tị nạn tại Ấn Độ năm 1959. Từ đó đến nay, Tây Tạng vẫn không thể chọn ra một thủ lĩnh tôn giáo mới, còn Đạt Lai Lạt Ma thì rất tích cực kết giao với phương Tây. Sự việc này đã ảnh hưởng sâu sắc đến mối quan hệ Trung Quốc - Ấn Độ.
