“First, we should prioritize the upholding of peace and stability and refrain from seeking selfish gains. Second, we should cool down the situation and not add fuel to the fire. Third, we need to create conditions for the restoration of peace and refrain from further exacerbating tensions. Fourth, we should reduce the negative impact on the world economy and refrain from undermining the stability of global industrial and supply chains.”

“According to international law, we all recognise another country's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and the inviolability of its borders. This is a sound theory of international law. But the Russians will never give up Crimea, Donbas, or Luhansk. There is no military solution and never will be. There will only be 100,000 more dead on one side or the other. The only thing that can help is for NATO to interfere, and this is World War III.”

“I look forward to engaging with both the Republic of Korea and Japan, but like-minded (countries) as well, on trying to develop options both inside the U.N. as well as outside the U.N. The point here is that we cannot allow the work that the panel of experts were doing to lapse.”

“After the hit on the Iranian consulate, the Iranians could not take it any more. They had to respond by re-establishing their deterrence credibility. Now the Israelis are talking about retaliation. This is not perceived as retaliation in Iran - it is perceived as another attack on Iran.”

“People in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea no longer live in a cocoon with no information from the world outside. The current generation of North Koreans has experienced the freedom of enterprise and choice - however restricted - offered by the jangmadang informal markets. They watch TV dramas from China and South Korea and do not accept the propaganda, however harsh their lives might be. The regime fears the confluence of a more informed, less unconditionally loyal population, with greater hardships. When loyalty is replaced by fear and the general population suffers increasing hardships, he said, the situation becomes unsustainable. Change is bound to come. We just don't know when, or in what form it will happen.”
