  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “China is not the creator of or a party to the Ukraine Crisis. We have been on the side of peace and dialogue and committed to promoting peace talks. We actively support putting in place a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture. Our fair and objective position and constructive role have been widely recognized. 'Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger untie it,' to quote a Chinese saying. Our message to the US: stop shifting the blame on China; do not try to drive a wedge between China and Europe; and it is time to stop fueling the flame and start making real contribution to finding a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.” 12 hours ago
  • Korean Central News Agency
    Korean Central News Agency “On May 17, the North Korean Missile General Bureau conducted a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile equipped with a new navigation system of autonomous guidance. The test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the system. The launch was carried out as part of the regular activities of the North Korean Missile General Bureau and subordinate defense research institutes for the active development of weapons technology.” 13 hours ago
  • Yang Moo-jin
    Yang Moo-jin “It is part of North Korea's propaganda approach to develop a voice in global affairs. Kim's statement comes amid Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping holding talks in Beijing, the West pressuring North Korea and Russia with sanctions and South Korea planning to stage Ulchi Freedom Shiled, a joint annual military drill with the U.S. in August. It may be true that North Korea is honing existing weapons to attack Seoul, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the country pulling weapons from its stocks and shipping them to Russia after further testing and deploying.” 13 hours ago
  • Park Won-gon
    Park Won-gon “Kim's [Kim Yo-jong syster of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un] statement suggests that North Korea is concerned about international sanctions. I believe sanctions are still an effective tool. North Korea fears that if it admits its arms dealings with Russia, it may turn its European allies into enemies.” 13 hours ago
  • Kim Yo-jong
    Kim Yo-jong “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public. Our tactical weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and missiles, will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.” 13 hours ago
  • Frank Kendall
    Frank Kendall “China has fielded a number of space capabilities designed to target our forces. And we're not going to be able operate in the Western Pacific successfully unless we can defeat those. China had tripled its network of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites since 2018.” 13 hours ago
  • Ants Kiviselg
    Ants Kiviselg “The Russian Armed Forces are advancing on the recently opened Kharkiv front, but their pace is slowing down. This and the nature of their behaviour rather indicate a desire to create a buffer zone. Russian troops have attacked and destroyed important bridges in the area of Vovchansk, which creates a natural barrier between Ukrainian and Russian forces. This is more an indication of the intention of Russian forces to build a defensive line than to create a bridgehead for an advance on Kharkiv.” 23 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Russia is ready and able to continuously power the Chinese economy, businesses, cities and towns with affordable and environmentally clean energy.” 23 hours ago
  • Alexey Muraviev
    Alexey Muraviev “There are limits to the two nations' ties, despite their insistence that it is limitless. The limits are that the two countries don't have a formal alliance agreement. To me, that's very clearly a sign that there are limitations to what seems to be a limitless relationship. Neither side is prepared to unconditionally commit to support each other on issues like Ukraine.” 23 hours ago

“It has to do, I think, with Iran's overall threat perception in the region rising. And at the same time, feeling the need - as a result of domestic and external pressure - to respond. If you look at the series of incidents these had projected the image of Iran's intelligence weakness and lack of seriousness and will to respond. So the calculation in Tehran might have been that by allowing this to continue, their very credibility would be at stake. And that was why they decided to show a response all at once.”

“Yesterday, they viewed us as a consumer and a country in need. Today, they see us as a producer who can have much to say in the defence and military industries. Iran continues to seek friendly relations with all nations but will not hesitate to cut off any hand that wishes to invade Iran.”

“Lifting sanctions means lifting all forms of sanctions stipulated in the nuclear agreement, and the sanctions that Trump reimposed contradict the terms of the agreement. We demand guarantees that include not imposing any new sanctions, and not reimposing sanctions after lifting them under any pretext.”

“Iran has had this space programme for quite a long time. It's sent satellites into orbit on a number of occasions. It's pretty clear that the Iranians are going to continue with business as usual - whether it's in regards to its space programme - or even its … ballistic missile technology. When the United States is trying to prevent Iran from even importing medicine, and when the Europeans assist the United States in banning such imports … Iran has to become self-sufficient - and the space programme is a natural part of that effort.”

“Will meet JC Coordinator in Brussles on Wednesday to continue our talks on result-oriented negotiations. Iran is determined to engage in negotiations that would remove unlawful and cruel sanctions in a full & effective manner, secure normalization of trade & economic relations with Iran, and provide credible guarantee for no further reneging. The question is if our partners are genuinely ready to fulfill their commitments, including by calling out the non-participant violator to divorce from the past malign policies & legacy. The continuation of the failed maximum pressure policy definitely will not remove any obstacle in 'Negotiation to remove illegal & cruel sanctions', rather will add more to already existing negotiations' complexities.”

“This marks the first time Iran becomes a full member of a major regional bloc since its 1979 revolution. Iran is subject to unilateral sanctions. This means that SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organisation] members don't recognise those as international sanctions and that's why they've accepted Iran's request for full membership.”

“Iran's approach towards the SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organisation] is that it looks at it as a concert of non-Western great powers rather than a modern international organisation, and views it in an anti-Western or anti-US setting. This is despite the fact that countries such as Pakistan and India are US's close partners, and even Russia and China have never been willing to openly challenge the US on the global scene. The combination of these two misunderstandings, and also Iran's self-perception as a natural hegemon in West Asia, would make the whole thing appear to the Iranian leaders as Iran joining other anti-Western great powers to form a strong coalition that is going to challenge the US hegemony.”

“The world has entered a new era. Hegemony and unilateralism are failing. The international balance is moving toward multilateralism and redistribution of power to the benefit of independent countries. Unilateral sanctions are not against only one country. As it has become evident in recent years, sanctions have targeted more independent countries, especially members of the organisation [of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO)].”
