Minister
van Buitenlandse Zaken Rice plaatst Globaal Partnerschap met China
in de schijnwerpers (02-07-2008) Vooruitgang naar vrede
op het Koreaanse schiereiland heeft dan wel de krantenkoppen
gedomineerd, maar de brede agenda van minister van Buitenlandse
Zaken Condoleezza Rice in China geeft de complexiteit en het belang
weer van de huidige relatie tussen de VS en China.
“We hebben onze verschillen. Maar deze verschillen mogen niet een
zeer belangrijk feit in de schaduw stellen. En dat heel belangrijk
feit is dat de VS en China gewoonweg samen moeten werken als zij de
verschillende uitdagingen willen aanpakken waarmee de internationale
gemeenschap geconfronteerd wordt.”

Six-Party
Talks Setting Stage for New Diplomacy in Northeast Asia
(2008-07-02)
The diplomatic process
behind North Korea’s abandonment of its nuclear arsenal could lead
to a new era of peace and stability for the region, says America’s
top diplomat for East Asia and the Pacific. “The Six-Party process
is not only beginning to show some results in the issue of
denuclearization; we're also showing results in the issue of
bringing the countries closer together,” Assistant Secretary of
State Christopher Hill said in a July 1 appearance at Washington’s
Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Statement
by President Bush on G8 Summit (2008-07-02) At
recent summits, G8 countries have made pledges to help developing
nations address challenges, from health care to education, to
corruption. Now we need to show the world that the G8 can be
accountable for its promises and deliver results. As I said the
other day, we need people who not only make promises, but write
checks, for the sake of human rights and human dignity, and for the
sake of peace

Briefing by USAID Official on Mission Activities in Iraq
(2008-07-01)
I’ve been with USAID for 26 years. Prior to Iraq, I served in
countries such as the Congo, India, Ghana, Belize, Albania, Uganda,
Ukraine and Colombia. I don’t go to the easy spots. What I do like
is going to places where we make a difference. I’ve been in Iraq
since August 2007 and have traveled to 14 of our PRTs and embedded
PRTs in Iraq. And each trip has reaffirmed my knowledge that our
team is implementing one of the most dynamic, challenging, and
fulfilling programs in USAID.

U.S.,
Russian Spacefaring Strength Aids Space Station Success (2008-06-30) Since
the first segment of the International Space Station -- the Zarya
functional cargo block -- was placed in orbit in 1998, the United
States and Russia have used their strengths as spacefaring nations
to blaze a technological trail for the rest of the international
partners. The FGB -- the Russian acronym for functional cargo block
-- has a Russian name that means “dawn,” signifying the dawn of a
new age of space cooperation, and the segment was a joint effort
from the beginning.
