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.” 13 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.” 13 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.” 13 hours ago

“Positioning the hard-to-track submarines closer to seas near China, Japan and the Korean Peninsula could be a powerful deterrent against China's military. The Middle East wars have ended. We are in an interwar period, and the next one will be a high-end, high-intensity conflict with a near-peer competitor, probably involving China, and most likely in northeast Asia.”

“North Korea again staged a provocation, and what will Moon [Moon Jae-in] say at the U.N. General Assembly? The provocation is direct proof that North Korea has not changed at all. North Korea's nuclear threat is a mushroom that has grown under the Moon government's irresponsible and incapable North Korea policies. Moon should abandon his hollow Korean Peninsula peace initiative and set up a new policy based on reality.”

“I expect China's steadfast support for denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula. I hope the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics will become another opportunity for improving relations with North Korea, following the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.”

“Looks like North Korea's indirect message and even request to Beijing for the Korean Peninsula to be addressed as a central agenda issue for China. At the same time, Pyongyang seems to be claiming and stressing that North Korea is taking the lead in the Korean Peninsula issue.”

“North Korea is following its own path of seeking more from the U.S., such as sanctions relief or the suspension of the South Korea-U.S. combined military exercises, and the missile launches were part of this basic strategy. Frankly speaking, few countries support the Korean Peninsula peace process. With North Korea and China urging the U.S. to concede more, Washington perfunctorily approves it, but it is not yet ready to ease sanctions. As there is little chance that the relevant countries will change their stances, the peace initiative is unlikely to make progress if South Korea continues to pursue it in the same fashion.”

“I expect that the upcoming talks will be a productive step to accelerate the Korean Peninsula peace process. What we consider the most important is to resume talks with North Korea. To this end, South Korea and the U.S. have held talks about jointly carrying out humanitarian cooperation projects for North Korea, which have shown considerable progress.”

“I came to Washington in order to continue the discussions I had with Special Representative Sung Kim in Seoul last week. I wish to hold in-depth discussions on various issues related to the Korean Peninsula, including the North Korean nuclear issue, with U.S. government officials during my U.S. trip.”

“LSE [U.S. Navy Large-Scale Exercise] 2021 covers East China Sea, and so it is assumed to be targeting Beijing. This shows the Korean Peninsula is now at the forefront of the so-called Second Cold War.”

“Division is the biggest obstacle blocking our growth and prosperity and simultaneously a tenacious barrier to permanent peace. Although unification may take some time, we can create a Korean Peninsula model, in which the two Koreas coexist and contribute to the prosperity of Northeast Asia as a whole through denuclearization and permanent peace on the Peninsula.”

“In order to realize the peace of the Korean Peninsula, the US must withdraw the troops and weapons it deploys in South Korea for invasion and wars. As long as US troops stay in South Korea, the problem, that worsens the peninsula situation, will not be eliminated.”

“We are not conducting large-scale exercises [with the US] with the mobilization of troops, and we are preparing the exercises in accordance with the COVID-19 pandemic situation and the peace process on the Korean Peninsula. It is joint command post training without any actual mobilization of troops and is conducted through computer simulations.”

“I believe China can play a key role in getting North Korea back to the negotiations. It succeeded in convincing North Korea to join the six-party talks in 2003 and may be able to encourage North Korea to sit down again with the U.S. and resume denuclearization talks in return for security assurances and an eventual path to normal relations. This should be a priority for Beijing, to help prevent the potential for conflict on the Korean Peninsula and as an overture to the U.S. and others who may doubt Beijing's commitment to the complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”

“The problem has been that the administration has only talked about denuclearisation and continues to characterise any interactions with North Korea as nuclear negotiations. So, it's still a tough sell to get the North Koreans back to the table, but obviously, Moon [South Korea's President Moon Jae-in] is going to push very hard.”

“Our goal remains the complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula. Our policy will not focus on achieving a grand bargain, nor will it rely on strategic patience.”

“Our foreign political activities should be focused and redirected on subduing the US, our principal enemy and main obstacle to our innovated development. The reality is that we can achieve peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula when we constantly build up our national defence and suppress US military threats.”

“Variables in inter-Korean relations in the final phase of a presidency are not very effective because they can cause political controversy. It is difficult to expect a big breakthrough in inter-Korean relations at this point. With the new Biden administration, it is hard to expect Trump-style top-down diplomacy on the Korean Peninsula.”

“This year marks the 30th anniversary of the two Koreas' simultaneous membership of the United Nations. The South and North must join hands to prove that peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula is beneficial for the international community. It is our duty to pass on a Korean Peninsula without war and nuclear weapons to the next generation. In line with the launch of the U.S. Biden administration, the government will strengthen the South Korea-U.S. alliance and make a last-ditch effort to achieve a major turnaround in stalled U.S.-North Korea and inter-Korea dialogue.”

“Our foreign political activities should be focused and redirected on subduing the US, our biggest enemy and main obstacle to our innovated development. No matter who is in power in the US, the true nature of the US and its fundamental policies towards North Korea never change. Nothing would be more foolish and dangerous than not strengthening our might tirelessly and having an easy-going attitude at a time when we clearly see the enemy’s state-of-the-art weapons are being increased more than ever. The reality is that we can achieve peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula when we constantly build up our national defence and suppress US military threats.”

“It was a crime against humanity that was systematically, deliberately and extensively committed by Japan in breach of international norms. Even if it was a country’s sovereign act, state immunity cannot be applied as it was committed against our citizens on the Korean peninsula, which was illegally occupied by Japan.”
