  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “It's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I am working on a deal to end the fighting and build a lasting and durable peace. Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problem. It's about channeling anger, frustration and heartbreak to find a solution. It's about doing what you believe is right, even when it's hard and lonely.” 15 hours ago
  • Sylvain Ekenge
    Sylvain Ekenge “An attempted coup d'etat has been put down by the defence and security forces. The attempt involved foreigners and Congolese. These foreigners and Congolese have been put out of action, including their leader.” 18 hours ago
  • Martin Griffiths
    Martin Griffiths “When very, very experienced humanitarian aid workers, who have been in all kinds of places around the world for decades, when they go to Gaza - to help, to serve, to work - it is traumatising for them. So, God help what it must be for the people of Gaza. It is really difficult and it's getting worse daily. We meet with Israelis daily through COGAT, the committee set up for this purpose. We have many detailed discussions with them about security, about the movement of our trucks and convoys, about the priorities for fuel, but the fact of the matter is, we are not in a position to provide proper aid to the people of Gaza. Right now, it's not ever been quite as difficult as it is today. Much more can be done and ideally, obviously and hopefully this [Israeli military] operation needs to stop.” 18 hours ago

“We note, in particular with China, that the supply of vaccines was also used to make very clear political demands of various countries. In order to prevent this from happening in the first place we don't just have to criticize it, but we have to ensure that the affected countries have alternatives. Those alternative are the vaccines we have available, and which we, of course, want to make available to as many countries and regions in the world as possible. [That way] the Russians and the Chinese can't continue to conduct their difficult vaccine diplomacy in this fashion, which only has the purpose of increasing their own influence and not necessarily to save people's lives in the first instance.”

“Vaccines offer a ray of hope - but most of the world is still in the shadows. The virus is outpacing vaccine distribution. This pandemic is clearly far from over; more than half its victims died this year. Many millions more are at risk if the virus is allowed to spread like wildfire. The more it spreads, the more variants we see - variants that are more transmissible, more deadly and more likely to undermine the effectiveness of current vaccines.”

“We have to balance what we think about vaccinating children in high-income countries with vaccinating the rest of the world, because we need to stop transmission of this virus globally. We're not completely out of the woods and that's why I'm very worried about getting vaccines around the rest of the world, because we need to stop the virus being transmitted and continuing to evolve. That could give us a new variant that is going to be really difficult to deal with.”

“Events over the last 15 months have shown that the European Union has been part of the solution and that together we have made two major breakthroughs; an agreement on how we will recover together after the epidemic and the production, development and the distribution of the [COVID-19] vaccine.”

“They are not against vaccination, they're against bureaucratic campaigns. And they protest against these campaigns not openly, but by sabotaging them.”

“Between 60 to 70 percent of people here say they are not willing to take a vaccine and that seems to stem from a general distrust of what the government is trying to get them to do. And this is despite the fact that the Russian Sputnik vaccine is internationally recognised and has been very effective.”

“Surely, these 500 million vaccine doses are welcome as they will help more than 250 million people, but that's still a drop in the bucket compared to the need across the world. We need a transformation towards more distributed vaccine manufacturing so that qualified producers worldwide can produce billions more low-cost doses on their own terms, without intellectual property constraints.”

“It's our very strong view that given the lack of coverage around the world it's absolutely critical to make a big move like this to get more vaccines into the system as quickly as possible. These vaccines will become available as of August, even as we are pushing out the 80 million doses that have already been announced.”

“The United States is providing these half billion doses with no strings attached. No strings attached. Our vaccine donations don't include pressure for favours, or potential concessions. We're doing this to save lives, to end this pandemic, and that's it.”

“Vaccinations are proceeding faster than expected, and if infections decrease sharply, the medical system will get relief and restrictions on ordinary people can be relaxed gradually. If the Olympics are held that way, I think understanding will grow.”

“After shutting down the border for a long time, Taiwan has begun to see the virus spread. Fortunately, various vaccines have been introduced [around the world], and when more Taiwanese people get their jabs, the outbreak will soon be contained. However, people from the KMT [Kuomintang] keep criticizing the government, meddling with public order at this critical moment. They've chosen to be CCP's running dogs with their degraded morals.”

“As long as this pandemic is raging anywhere in the world, the American people will still be vulnerable. And the United States is committed to bringing the same urgency to international vaccination efforts that we have demonstrated at home. We are sharing these doses not to secure favors or extract concessions. We are sharing these vaccines to save lives and to lead the world in bringing an end to the pandemic, with the power of our example and with our values.”

“No matter how solid the so-called US-Taiwan relationship is claimed to be, the COVID-19 vaccine is a touchstone. The US is not so concerned about the epidemic in Taiwan, and it believes many US allies have more serious epidemic conditions than Taiwan. This also helps Taiwan people understand the true face of the US-Taiwan 'friendship'.”

“The WTO [World Trade Organization] has not got a record of moving quickly, or getting to yes, across 164 members who must all agree, very often. This is the opportunity for the WTO to show its relevance for mankind.”

“The Anglo-Saxons must first stop their export bans. I am calling very clearly on the U.S. to end their export ban of vaccines and components that prevent production. CureVac says it can't produce in Europe because components are blocked in the U.S. … So lift the export ban - lift it, on the ingredients and the vaccines. And, secondly, liberate the doses. If we want to work quickly, today there isn't one factory in the world that can't produce doses for poor countries because of intellectual property. The priority today is not intellectual property - it's not true. We would be lying to ourselves. It's production.”

“On the intellectual property, we don't think in the short term that it's the magic bullet but we are ready to engage on this topic as soon as a concrete proposal will be put on the table.”

“We care about Montenegro, we care about the Western Balkans and we care about our friends, the people of Montenegro. Together with COVAX we are delivering almost a million doses to the Western Balkans, and this is the beginning. We do hope that as more vaccines come into Europe we would be able to convince more and more Member States to share their available dosses with the Western Balkans.”
