“They are local staff arrested in a security operation in Addis Ababa. This security operation was started as soon as the state of emergency was declared by Ethiopia's cabinet. Many people have been arrested across the capital; these UN workers were arrested in the course of that operation.”

“We clearly condemned the previous expulsion of UN officials from Ethiopia, and if confirmed, we would similarly condemn arrests of UN staff members based on ethnicity. We understand from reports… that those arrested are Tigrayan. Ethiopian government security force harassment and detention on the basis of of ethnicity is completely unacceptable.”

“A large number of headquarters of international organizations are based in Europe and Europe has a bigger say in the U.N., so we need to gain support from European countries. Under the circumstances, the unification minister's visit is also aimed at explaining the government's Korean Peninsula peace process from its perspective to the European nations. The Europe tour can provide an indication that the Moon administration is working hard on talks and cooperation with North Korea, which is significant.”

“The US is trying to create 'one China' and 'one Taiwan' in the UN and turn such a trick into a long-term bargaining chip to pressure Beijing. This is a new offensive against China. The world can see this, and Blinken's rhetoric will not deceive the international community. Taiwan's practical communication with UN agencies on civil aviation and public health matters has never been an obstacle. What the US wants now is exactly a political breakthrough. They think the whole world is stupid!”

“Resolution 2758 does not say Taiwan is a part of China. It does not say China may represent Taiwan before the UN. It does not address Taiwan's sovereignty - it doesn't even include the word Taiwan.”

“A key difference between Taiwan now and when it lost its seat is that in practice it is also no longer claiming to represent territorial China. That's the big difference that's from the world in 1971 when the ROC [Republic of China] did claim it was going to be the legitimate government for all of China. It's hard to remember the world in that context - but that's also why there was very little sympathy for ROC at that time because it seemed like they were making implausibly ridiculous claims and excluding one billion people from the UN.”

“The PRC [People's Republic of China] government has, as a practical matter, been effective in blocking Taiwan's participation in UN-affiliated entities, but this is not dictated by Resolution 2758: the resolution is about representation, not participation. Meaningful engagement by Taiwan in UN-affiliated entities is consistent with the letter and spirit of Resolution 2758.”

“Abiy Ahmed's Air Force did once again strike non-military targets around MU campus. While this is not outrageous enough, a UN Aircraft had to abort its landing because of the air strike. Our air defense units knew the UN plane was scheduled to land and it was due in large measure to their restraint it was not caught in a crossfire. What begs the question however is the government cleared the UN plane to fly to #Mekelle only to send its fighter jet in time to raid civilian targets. While the use of the UN flight as a distraction couldn't be ruled out, it is not entirely implausible to suspect that the Smart Alecs in Addis were indeed setting up the UN plane to be hit by our guns. The fact that the plane that came today was denied permit yesterday couldn't be a mere coincidence. Abiy's moves beg for action!”

“The People's Republic of China [PRC] has misused Resolution 2758 to prevent Taiwan's meaningful participation. Taiwan's exclusion from UN activities creates an immense cost to the nation, as well as the bloc's members. Beijing is denying the international community the ability to gain valuable contributions that Taiwan offers.”

“What the leader of the People's Republic of China have been saying you might have noticed that in one of the latest speeches where I have personally been present that was an international event in the framework of the UN where I've been present and I remember that president Xi [Xi Jinping] was saying that the People's Republic of China has no plans to use military power to resolve any type of problems or conflicts that was more or less his statement that's the first thing I wanted to say. Secondly as far as I understand the Chinese philosophy regarding the philosophy of statehood and state management it does not include use of force and thirdly I think China does not need to use force. China is a huge powerful economy and in terms of purchasing parity China is the economy number one in the world ahead of the United States now. And by increasing this economic potential China is capable of implementing its national objectives.”

“As the largest developing country, a permanent member of the Security Council, and the second-largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping budget, China is always highly responsible and pays its dues promptly. The current financial situation of the UN is still worrying, and arrears of membership dues and peacekeeping assessments by some member states are one of the main reasons. Multilateralism should be practiced, not stated. Relevant countries should pay UN dues and various assessments in a timely, full and unconditional manner to ensure the normal operation of the UN and fulfill its commitment to multilateralism with practical actions.”

“The UNSC [U.N. Security Council] ... put on the table the issue pertaining to the DPRK's exercise of sovereignty. This means an open ignorance of and wanton encroachment on the sovereignty of the DPRK and a serious intolerable provocation against it. This is a denial of impartiality, objectivity and equilibrium, lifelines of the UN activities, and an evident manifestation of double-dealing standard. North Korea has never acknowledged the partial and illegal U.N. 'resolution' that seriously encroaches upon the right to existence and development of sovereign states. I express strong concerns over the fact that the UNSC amused itself with the dangerous 'time-bomb' this time. The weapons tests have never posed any threats or harm to the security of the neighboring countries.”

“The Americans tried to contact us through different channels (at the U.N. General Assembly) in New York, and I told the mediators if America's intentions are serious then a serious indication was needed ... by releasing at least $10 billion of blocked money. They are not willing to free $10 billion belonging to the Iranian nation so that we can say that the Americans once in the past several decades considered the interests of the Iranian nation.”
