The time draws near, when a radical change must take place for the whole world in the management of diplomacy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The world itself is so full of changes - of negotiations, changes of position, seeing things one way, then another, gauging responses, status changes that can happen in an instant.
As the world undergoes a major transformation, it's the time of significant opportunity and also threat.
When the world is in the midst of change, when adversity and opportunity are almost indistinguishable, this is the time for visionary leadership and when leaders need to look beyond the survival needs of those they're serving.
Diplomacy is fundamentally working with people, bringing people together to deal with difficult issues.
The current global landscape is quite different from the not-too-distant past. The process of globalization has intensified, and the world is moving towards new forms of governance.
The time has come - and must come - for multilateral conversations about a secure peace in all of Europe.
Diplomacy is like jazz: endless variations on a theme.
The time is right for a political solution and the way is negotiations.
Diplomacy is more than saying or doing the right things at the right time, it is avoiding saying or doing the wrong things at any time.
Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.
