  • Alexey Maslov
    Alexey Maslov “We value the stability of Russia-China relations. The one word I can use to describe our relationship is 'trust.' That's very important because if you look at the cooperation with the Western countries, we don't have, and we have never had, mutual trust. But with China, we have a mutual trust. Our cooperation during the last two years developed very fast. The two countries could deepen cooperation in finance and banking, as well as in sci-tech and investment.” 1 hour ago
  • Cui Heng
    Cui Heng “The world will pay attention to the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries to see how China-Russia relations can be promoted to a new height, as strategic ties between the two major powers will greatly affect the international arena.” 1 hour ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “We see an unveiled intervention in the internal affairs of Georgia from the outside. This is an internal matter of Georgia. We do not want to interfere there in any way.” 1 hour ago
  • Charles Michel
    Charles Michel “If they want to join the EU, they have to respect the fundamental principles of the rule of law and the democratic principles.” 1 hour ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Under our own ten-year agreement, the United States will support the defence and security across a range of essential capabilities - from its air force to its air defence, from drones to demining. If Russia or anyone else were to attack Ukraine, we will work with Ukraine immediately at the highest levels to coordinate how to help you beat back the threat.” 5 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “This is an unexpected, but, unfortunately for Ukraine, a very effective move. Unlike many top Russian officials, Belousov has not been involved in corruption scandals and has a reputation as a workaholic technocrat and a devout Orthodox Christian. Putin wants him to clean the Augean stables of the defence ministry so that military spending spearheads the resurgence of Russia's economy. The effectiveness of Russia's military-industrial complex will be boosted, and instead of being a 'black hole' of budget spendings, the defence ministry may become a driver of economic growth, when war spendings stimulate the growth of Russia's GDP.” 8 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.”

“Iran's motivation for attacking Pakistan remains opaque but in light of broader Iranian behaviour in the region it can escalate. What will cause anxiety in Tehran is that Pakistan has crossed a line by hitting inside Iranian territory, a threshold that even the U.S. and Israel have been careful to not breach.”

“Unless action is taken immediately, Afghanistan is heading for chaos. Any government when it can't pay its salaries for its public servants, hospitals, doctors, nurses, any government is going to collapse but chaos suits no one, it certainly does not suit the United States.”

“Even before 15th of August, half the population below the poverty line, years of corrupt governance, 75 percent of the budget supported by foreign aid. Now a country in that situation, after 15th of August, if the foreign aid dries up, the foreign funds get frozen, banking system freezes, any country is going to collapse, let alone Afghanistan which suffered for the past 40 years.”

“Muttaqi's [Amir Khan Muttaqi] visit to Pakistan is likely to be transactional with discussions on practical issues of mutual concern, including Afghan Taliban's role as mediator between the Pakistani government and the Pakistani Taliban.”

“The discussion focused on trade, the reopening of gates (along the de facto border), border problems, and the problems that our traders are facing. It is hoped that our economic and diplomatic ties will get better; a delegation from our side may travel to Islamabad in the near future.”

“If they live up to those expectations, they would make it easier for themselves, they will get acceptability, which is required for recognition. At the same time, the international community has to realise: What is the alternative? What are the options? This is the reality, and can they turn away from this reality? Pakistan is in sync with the international community in wanting to see a peaceful, stable Afghanistan with no space for terrorist elements to increase their foothold, and for the Taliban to ensure that Afghan soil is never used again against any country. But we are saying, be more realistic in your approach. Try an innovative way of engaging with them. The way that they were being dealt with has not worked.”

“If they do not have an inclusive government, and gradually it descends into a civil war, which if they do not include all the factions sooner or later [will happen], that too will impact Pakistan. It will mean an unstable, a chaotic Afghanistan. [That is an] ideal place for terrorists, because if there is no control or if there is fighting going on. And that is our worry. So terrorism from Afghan soil, and secondly if there is a humanitarian crisis or a civil war, a refugee issue for us.”

“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.”

“Based on my information, a number of diplomats in Pakistan are working individually to contact some international organizations such as UNHCR and IOM to register a case so they are taken abroad. On the other hand, the diplomats have not received their salaries for the previous quarter and I do not think they will receive the salaries and other expenses soon to pay for their living costs.”

“We were asking for our rights. A political system that respects all Afghans. And an end to Pakistan's constant interference in Afghanistan, that's it. We didn't say anything about the Taliban, so why would they fire?”

“The Taliban takeover delivers a body blow to India's strategic interests. Afghanistan will now have a pro-Pakistan government, and this will give Pakistan and India's other key rival, China - Pakistan's close friend - an opportunity to play more of a role in Afghanistan. There will also be security risks, because the Taliban takeover will galvanise regional militants, including anti-India terror groups.”

“While the Taliban takeover was a setback for India, it was not game over for New Delhi. This is not a re-run of the past. Everyone is going to be much more careful this time about letting Islamist terrorism in Afghanistan explode as in the pre-9/11 days. Plus in relative terms, India is much more economically stronger than Pakistan this time around.”
