IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 7 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 7 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 7 hours ago
  • Karine Jean-Pierre

  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.” 22 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 22 hours ago

“You can get a lot of visual information from a satellite, but somewhere as far north as [the state of] Montana, a satellite only has a few seconds of time over the target whereas a balloon has more time. The second thing a balloon would be capable of doing would be gathering electronic signals, so it could intercept communications. If we do recover [the balloon] and it does prove to be surveillance stuff, I think there will be some public display of that. This will be further embarrassment for the Chinese.”

“The US should move from strategic ambiguity to strategic clarity on cross-strait affairs and re-examine its one China policy. It is my personal view that the one China policy has outlived its usefulness and that it is time to move away from strategic ambiguity. I think it is important that we begin that national discussion back in the US, but it will help that discussion and help us educate the American people if we can also point to bold decisions being made in Taipei, such as increase in defense spending, adoption of asymmetric warfare and corresponding capabilities, lengthening conscription and making it more rigorous, and improving reserve mobilization. It is important that the American people and our leaders in Washington see that the Taiwan people are fully committed to standing up to communist China and defending themselves as democracies of the world stand behind Taiwan. We cannot allow the Chinese to rise within the international system and try to dismantle it to suit their own ends, means and values. Much has changed since the one China policy was articulated in the 1970s.”

“If you are going to 'shock and awe' Taiwan with overwhelming force in the initial stages, there might be a lot of civilian casualties. That would make occupation difficult and harden international opposition. The Chinese can't have any illusions now that they will be welcomed as liberators in Taiwan and given supplies and assistance.”

“I think the Chinese would be ill-advised to assume that if the United States did not intervene militarily in a Ukraine crisis, that means the United States would not intervene militarily in a Taiwan crisis. They really are different.”

“The Western companies have lost their spectacles; they no longer have the eyes to see opportunities. But the Chinese see opportunities, and they come, and they are knocking, they are coming very vigorously. But (Western companies) are saturated with wealth. They are not bothered.”

“I was wondering three days ago during a negotiation session why it is so difficult for rich countries to pay this money. It's not aid. It's accountability. My opinion is that in the north, there is a psychological distance to the problem. People see documentary and pictures but do not feel it like we feel it when I go to the southern part of my country. People from the deep south of Madagascar are victims of something that they didn't do. They move to the west of Madagascar and it's a real risk to the biodiversity. When they move, they directly go to the protected areas where they can find resources like wood and medicinal plants - things that are normally forbidden. We should forbid the low-cost flights where you sometimes have two people go from Paris to Madrid or from Edinburgh to Vienna. It's a high-cost flight for people in my country. They pay the price of that. In September, I was attending the IUCN congress in Marseille, and I was totally shocked to see people dining outside restaurants that they are heating [with gas]. This should be illegal. There are many things that should be changed in the way of life of many European or North American or Chinese people. You have to make a choice or have to make a sacrifice.”

“I believe it will bring our countries closer. And I also believe that it gives us an opportunity to discuss the various areas of interest, especially trade opportunities, that exist between both countries. Turkey has had ties with Nigeria since it gained independence in 1960. They have grown closer with the good relationship between Erdogan and Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. Direct flights between Turkey and Nigeria have enabled many Nigerians to visit Turkey to shop for the holidays and for medical tourism. The countries will grow closer still. Turkish investments in Africa are very different from Chinese ones. I've been in discussions with various Turkish industrialists and investors, and they were interested in coming to do business in Africa. They are prepared to give long-term facilities to the African continent.”
