My observation is China is thinking more as a global player than regionally, in both politics and economics.

The world is over-armed and peace is under-funded.

Nuclear disarmament is the only sane path to a safer world.

I strongly reject threats by any member state to destroy another or outrageous attempts to deny historical facts such as the Holocaust.

This is the moral challenge of our generation. Not only are the eyes of the world upon us. More important, succeeding generations depend on us. We cannot rob our children of their future.

Women must be full partners in development, so they can lift themselves and their communities out of poverty.

We hold the future in our hands, together, we must ensure that our grandchildren will not have to ask why we failed to do the right thing, and let them suffer the consequences.
