  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “No conflict or war ends on the battlefield, but rather at the negotiating table. China supports the convening at an appropriate time of an international peace conference that is acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian sides with the participation of all parties equally. There, peace plans can be discussed, fairly, to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. We must always insist on an objective and just position, there is no magic wand to solve the crisis. All parties should start with themselves.” 11 hours ago
  • Boris Pistorius
    Boris Pistorius “Russia is already producing weapons and ammunition beyond its need for conducting an aggressive war against Ukraine. With increased spending on armaments and the streamlining of the military economy, a significant portion or part of what is produced no longer goes to the front line, but ends up in warehouses. Now you can be naive and say he's doing it just out of caution. As a sceptical person, I would say in this case that he's doing it because he has plans or could have them.” 17 hours ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks. Russia must not be allowed to win in Ukraine. Europeans should give preference to buying European military equipment. We must produce more, we must produce faster, and we must produce as Europeans.” 17 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “By including the Ukraine package in a bill that also provides military aid to Israel and Taiwan, the US shows the world that it equals Ukraine's and Israel's archenemies - Russia and Iran. This is a mighty geopolitical slap for China. As the trade turnover between Russia and China rose to $240bn last year, the more the US pushes Beijing, the more discounts for oil and gas China gets from Russia.” 17 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The aid is a surprisingly exact match of Ukrainian military's needs that mostly has a deficit of air defence weaponry of all kinds and also needs to replenish its arsenal of tank destroyers, anti-infantry landmines and other kinds of ammunition. It's obviously needed to deliver infantry and other ground troops to the front line but not for an advance - otherwise the US would have given tanks.” 18 hours ago
  • Ihor Romanenko
    Ihor Romanenko “The aid can improve the situation on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line. But the aid looks like a handout to show that we haven't been forgotten, no more than that. They're always late, they hit the brakes, they're afraid. All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.” 18 hours ago

South Korea position in the Indo-Pacific region

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context South Korea position in the Indo-Pacific region.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Seoul's publishing of its own Indo-Pacific strategy is an effort to depart from the previous Moon Jae-in government's policy of strategic ambiguity and stress clarity in South Korea's diplomatic stance. The strategy serves as a tool to remove uncertainties on whether South Korea will express its stance about a certain diplomatic or international issue. However, it remains to be seen how Seoul will apply those strategies in actual diplomatic circumstances.”

“The Indo-Pacific strategy is a comprehensive regional strategy aimed at facilitating our national interests in the region, whose geopolitical importance is ever growing. President Yoon Suk-yeol has been reiterating the importance of freedom and solidarity, and the values are reflected in the Indo-Pacific strategy. It will help foreign governments understand the value that we pursue and improve the country's' credibility in the international society. Inclusiveness means that we will not target or exempt any specific nation, and we are open to every partner nation sharing our vision and principles.”

“Korea should do more with like-minded states to reinforce stability in the Indo-Pacific. Strategic ambiguity' is not a winning strategy for Seoul since it looks like weakness to Beijing. If Korea joins the Quad, the Biden administration would be impressed and indebted to Korea. China will be unhappy but Seoul would need to stand firm. If Korea cannot find a way to stand up to Chinese pressure now, it will find itself in a much weaker position later when Beijing makes even bigger demands ― for example, when China insists on a neutral Korea with no alliances after unification.”
