I look forward to strengthening the U.S.-U.N. partnership and working closely with Secretary of State Kerry towards our shared goals of peace, development, and human rights.

I call on Russia and the United States of America, the cosponsors of the peace conference, to help the peace process take bigger steps by contributing to the process and helping to overcome all...

Disarmament requires trust.

We are the biggest donor to the United Nations, contributing 22 percent of the regular operating budget and nearly 27 percent of the peacekeeping budget.

We can't give the impression to our allies or friends in Asia that because the president is against TPP... that therefore, economically, we're going to pull away from Asia.

I think George Mitchell is a consummate professional. He is the ideal selection to handle the job of special envoy if you choose to have a special envoy.

The Russians and the Chinese have been absolutely clear they don't want to see Iran with a nuclear weapon.

As far as my relationship with President Putin is concerned, it's fine.

Nobody ever won an election by spitting at his political opponents.

There is some sign that North Korea is changing recently. There is ongoing successful negotiation to have a military talk to Pyongyang, which has been stopped for seven years.

I am pro-peace.

France has been maintaining a very special relationship with India on defence matters.

The strategy we must follow is to defend the special relationship between Great Britain and Europe and, more specifically, between Europe and France.

As New Zealanders, we've been involved with the United Nations from the very beginning, played a role in the drafting of the charter - it means a lot to us that those processes are followed.

You will see us going forward talking about those things to bring Iran in compliance: not just of the deal, but of the international community and what is expected to be a good community citizen.

I feel strongly from my experience of serving as foreign minister for four years and eight months that there is nothing stronger than diplomacy and security with the understanding and support of the...

For decades, Japan has been a friend and reliable trading partner with the United States, and I anticipate that relationship will prosper.

I don't want to sound like I'm a special type of Russia hater. There are very few heads of state in Europe that would not like to have very good relations with Russia.

In France, where Franklin had lived from 1776 to 1785, he had won an extraordinary place in the public mind. The French had lionized him to the point of absurdity - or so at least his colleagues in...

President Trump, along with Senior Advisers Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, have shown their willingness to extend an olive branch to Democrats.

But I would not refuse a meeting with Putin. I would like to spend a week with Putin, so that I could better understand him.

The United States is our best friend, and our relations are excellent. Our relations will be strengthened even more, despite our differences in views.

I liked Kennedy. So far, he is the only American president who could talk with me and with whom I could talk. I know Johnson, but I have not yet a clear opinion of him.

I wish we had been doing diplomatic security in Benghazi. I can tell you that Benghazi would not have happened if Blackwater were on the job there.

Clinton impressed Assad: a young man who appeared to want to be neutral in the Arab-Israeli dispute - an illusion of course, but that's what Assad thought.

Japan is opposed to any actions that escalate tensions in the South China Sea.

If Moscow wants a lasting peace with Ukraine, the door is open, and, if they refuse, I support sanctions that would make the consequences severe and certain.

We're aligning ourselves with Kerry. Our allegiance will be for peace, against war, no more deaths for oil, and for a dialogue between the government of Spain and the new Kerry administration.

This president failed so miserably in diplomacy that we are now forced to war.

Great progress was made when arbitration treaties were concluded in which the contracting powers pledge in advance to submit all conflicts to an arbitration court, treaties which not only specify the...
