Je quitte la Chine après cinq jours que je n'oublierai pas.

Merci au Président Xi Jinping pour l'accueil qu'il a réservé au Gabon, et au peuple chinois pour sa chaleur, de Shanghai à Pékin. J'ai vu un grand pays, et j'y ai trouvé un ami.

@ecb President Christine @Lagarde, beyond her roles as a lawyer, politician, and central banker, observers say her fashionable approach is part of what makes her memorable. #leaderstalk

Sitting down with Leaders Talk, @ecb President @Lagarde discusses leading the #ECB through a complex landscape: the Middle East crisis, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and rising trade uncertainty.

My remarks at the UN General Assembly on the necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.

[Leaders Talk @leaderstalken]

When approached by political brokers pushing for the “recognition of Taiwan”, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang'ula, Speaker of the National Assembly of Kenya, drew a firm line: "I couldn't do it, and Kenya will never do it."

Dr.Moses Wetang'ula sits down with CMG's #LeadersTalk to discuss statecraft, sovereignty, and foreign policy independence. Struck by the scale of the modern logistics during his recent visit to Tianjin Port's fully automated smart docks, what was he thinking?

Stay tuned.
