Caracas, September 1st 2009 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said that the tour he is carrying out in various countries in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe is aimed at strengthening Venezuela’s “strategic alliances” that have been built throughout ten years of his government.
Speaking from Tripoli, Libya, where he arrived on August 31 to participate in a special summit of the African Union and to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the revolution in the African country, Chavez also said that Venezuela had played a “modest but important” role in contributing to the construction of a multi-polar world.
In 1999, “We had a clear understanding of the international map and began to seek solid, firm and serious allies,” he said, referring to the early stages of his government. Ten years later Venezuela has built strong alliances, not only with nations but with strategic regions, from northern Africa to the Eurasian region, the head of state pointed out in a telephone conversation broadcast on state owned VTV.

Sarkozy says the world can’t rely on just the Dollar

Sarkozy says the world can’t rely on just the Dollar and currencies
The political and economic reality of a multi-polar world will eventually have to be transmitted on the monetary level
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said currencies should be re-aligned to reflect changes in the world, suggesting that the dollar alone cannot remain dominant. “The political and economic reality of a multi-polar world will eventually have to be transmitted on the monetary level,” Sarkozy said today in a speech in Paris. “A multi-polar world can’t count on only one currency.” Though he did not mention the currency by name, Sarkozy’s remarks are among the first by a major Western leader to cast doubt on the role of the dollar. The world must change to limit “excessive and profoundly destabilizing exchange rate fluctuations,” Sarkozy said in a speech today in Paris. “France won’t accept that the euro alone takes the weight of the adjustment, as it has in the past.” The EUR/USD is currently trading at $1.4240 as of 9:00am, London Time.

Guo Ji (郭纪): Freedom of Speech and the Media’s Responsibility
Posted by smeddum on August 26, 2009
Tues 25 August 2009
From the Beijing-based Party magazine Qiushi, translated by David Bandurski of the China Media Project, Hong Kong University:
To keep to the road of peace and development, this is the grand promise China has made to the world. To this end, China has raised high the flags of peace, development and cooperation. It has pursued an independent foreign policy of peace and an open strategy of mutual benefit. It has earnestly practiced what it advocates, with the goal of building a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity. In recent years, China’s path of opening and reform, its unity and initiative, its fairness and friendliness, its honesty and sense of responsibility, have won greater and greater respect in the international community, and led to a more objective, rational and friendly disposition [toward China]. However, China’s efforts and earnestness have met with an international public opinion environment (国际舆论环境) stacked unfairly against it. A small number of Western media have managed to dominate the international news and information order (国际新闻传播秩序), masking the truth, disseminating prejudices, creating through human effort one after another “iron curtain” and “vast divide,” seriously impeding interaction, conversation and mutual understanding between peoples.
