"potencia mundial" in English

As for the outside world, Europe should establish itself as a strong global actor.

Today, there is only one major power left in the world: the United States.

You said that China has already become a political and economic world power.

Nor am I unaware of the role played by China as a member of the WTO and a future global power.

The European Union must assume its role as a great world economic power.

Sixthly, the European Union is not a global power, but it has a global power's responsibility.

This is quite different from adorning a world power or increasing the freedom of international corporations.

He said that the European Union is not a global power, but that it does have a global power's responsibility.

If the EU is to have credibility as a global power it needs to put its money where its mouth is.

This is so, irrespective of whether we are talking about a world power, or about small countries such as Laos and Vietnam.
