Vädjan om att rädda Östasiatiska Museet

Chineseonline news–I den rapport om ekonomisk översyn av Världskulturmuseerna som Ann Follin, överintendent för Statens museer för Världskultur, lämnade in för en dryg månad sedan förordas att Östasiatiska museet och de två andra Världskulturmuseerna i Stockholm slås samman till ett gemensamt Världskulturmuseum i Stockholm. Denna omlokalisering kommer att slå sönder Östasiatiska museet, radera dess unika historia och göra att det inte längre kan ha en självständig agenda. Vi svensk-kineser, och andra asiater, är förvånade och djupt oroade över detta.

Under den senaste månaden finns på internet ett gemensamt upprop om att rädda Östasiatiska genom att stödja det med en signatur. Uppropet har nått tusentals människor runt om i Sverige och världen, svenska medier har publicerat mer än 50 artiklar och rapporter som talar om saken, allt för att rädda museets självständighet.

Vi svensk-kineser, som undertecknat detta inlägg, skulle vilja framföra följande ståndpunkter kring Östasiatiska museet:

Östasiatiska Museet, som är ett andligt och kulturellt Mecka för asiater, bör får vara kvar i sina lokaler, som har anpassats till den nuvarande museiverksamheten, och inte tvingas att flytta ihop med andra museer på ett sätt som marginaliserar dess asiatiska kulturarv, och som inte leder till integration i det svenska kulturella landskapet, utan tvärtom skulle öka känslan av isolering för oss med asiatisk bakgrund.

Östasiatiska museet, med sin egen historia och sina unika samlingar, har ett rykte och en status som placerar det bland de främsta i museivärlden internationellt. Det är en stolthet att ha för Sverige och då bör den svenska regeringen också vara stolt och låta museet blomstra, snarare än att spä ut det till en del av en odefinierbar “världskultur”, som etnocentriskt verkar innefatta allt som inte är nordeuropeiskt.

Östasiatiska museet är platsen för att utbilda den yngre generationen om det asiatiska kulturarvet i Sverige. Östasiatiska museet är redan, och blir alltmer, en turistattraktion för såväl asiater boende i Sverige som besökare från Asien, och då behövs en stabil miljö och fritt utrymme för utveckling av program och verksamheter.

Östasiatiska museets sammanlagda utställningsyta bör inte reduceras med följd att delar av utställningsföremålen inte kommer att kunna visas för allmänheten. Detta skulle försvåra kommunikationen och forskningen kommer att bli lidande. Därigenom kommer Östasiatiska:museets kultur- och konstsamlingar att förlora i internationell status och museet att degraderas, till skada för forskning och kulturarv. Den asiatiska kulturens representation i Sverige av föremål och kulturella uttryck kommer att minska kraftigt.

Östasiatiska Museet representerar ett stolt arv av svenskt forskningssamarbete med Kina, ett forskningssamarbete som präglades av ömsesidig respekt och var viktig för Kinas vetenskapliga utveckling under första halvan av 1900-talet. Ett arv som inte får förskingras och som både vi svensk-kineser och ättlingarna till de svenskar, som verkade i Kina under denna tid, är stolta över.

Östasiatiska Museet, som en presentation av ett världskulturarv, bör dessutom inte användas som ett verktyg för politiskt styrda nycker och moden. Samlingarna är extra värdefulla för oss kineser eftersom en del av dem inte längre finns kvar i Kina, som en följd av det moderna Kinas turbulenta historia.

Av dessa anledningar vädjar vi till regeringen att överge sina tankar på Östasiatiska Museets sammanslagning med andra Världskulturmuseer, och omlokalisering. Man bör istället fortsätta med att upprätthålla och skydda Östasiatiska museets nuvarande status och med stolthet se det som det asiatiska kulturcentrum det är.

Vi vädjar också till regeringen att hitta en expert och sakkunnig person som museichef, som älskar asiatisk kultur, och får ha kunniga medarbetare som levandegör museets kulturarv. Detta ger kännedom och kunskaper som låter fler människor från Sverige och Europa få en ökad förståelse för Asiens forntid och nutid. Den nuvarande högsta museiledningen är inne på helt fel väg när man vill förytliga och förminska vårt och andras kulturarv. Regeringen bör i stället satsa på att fördjupa kunskapen och öka förståelsen för asiatisk kultur och för alla de levande kulturer som finns i Sverige.

Vi önskar att regeringen svarar på denna vår vädjan.

中欧文化协会会员参观斯德哥尔摩中国文化中心及画展

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--由中欧文化协会会长陈雪霏率领的会员团9月30日参观了斯德哥尔摩中国文化中心,受到斯德哥尔摩中国文化中心主任,使馆文化参赞浦正东的热情地接待。

dsc_3187斯德哥尔摩中国文化中心于9月2日正式挂牌成立。同时,国内顶级艺术家的意象化展和来自新华社有关中瑞交往的历史性照片在这里展出一个月的时间。

dsc_3110浦正东主任说,文化中心成立的主要目的就是要促进中瑞双方的文化交流,要把中国文化介绍到瑞典来,同时,也可以把瑞典的好的文化介绍到中国去。这里可以举办画展,也可以举办研讨会,明年中心场地扩展到1300平米的时候,还可以举办文艺演出等等。

dsc_3136本次的意象化展都是国内名家如闻立鹏先生的《致高原之一》。

dsc_3153《闻立鹏先生的《遥望》。

dsc_3108尚扬的《剩山图-7》系列表述的是对环境的关注。

dsc_3163丁方的《雄壮的和声》真正展示了中国最伟大的地貌特征,有着产生一切伟大艺术的雄厚母土。

dsc_3141《彩虹即将展现云端》也形象有力地展示了中华大地的肌肉。《上升的灵魂》是通过上升的山脊展示大自然的巧夺天工和壮美。

许江的《藿风》, 《生草黄》和《青云还》系列展示了向日葵在风中挺立的执着。

dsc_3156画家马路1958年出生于北京,中央美院毕业。1984年开始一直任教于中央美院,教授,造型学院院长,油画系主任。他是这样阐述他自己的作品的。“用自然的方法,根本不用描摹自然,也会在画面上呈现出自然的感觉,甚至是前所未有的感觉。有时我会把这种方法叫做“自动绘画”,因为不设计,几乎没什么主观的要求,也许,“自动”的动因是潜意识或者是“无意为佳,乃佳”的中国传统的境界作怪。

dsc_3161我想证明的是:这种看起来“神秘的”,“不负责的”, “故作潇洒的”,“非实用的”审美的标准,其实是具有极强的科学,实用和理性的。“无意为佳,乃佳”,是因为有意为之的时候总是考虑不周,或是参杂偏见和私欲。人,要想超越自我,首先要承认:人不是万能的,而是有着很多的局限性,是能力有限的;人类的人和智慧和成就都是因为遵从了自然的规律。人类之伟大,是因为有能力遵从自然,而不是相反。艺术的目的是发现自然。

dsc_3160

他的作品《要有水》和《生之源》自然阐述了水是生命之源,水如此重要,我们人类一定要保护我们的水源。

dsc_3146苏新平,1960年生于内蒙古集宁,现任中央美院副院长,教授。他说他是在不设定前提的状态下,凭借第一笔落于画面的感觉,从一个局部入手,每一笔不重复地向四面推进。最后的作品都不是经过设想的,而是遵循我的内心感受。整个绘画过程中全神贯注于脑,心,手的统一,服从于内心的需求,这样我的绘画语言方式,方法和我的思想观念是统一起来,作品的内涵与张力也由此得来。

dsc_3147他的《八个东西1号》在中心进行了展出。给人印象深刻。

dsc_3158冯放1962年出生于长沙。国家一级美术师。他说,“我近期的创作以鹤为题材,鹤是中国传统文化中经常出现的形象。文人墨客多以闲云野鹤自喻,在道家学说里鹤蕴含独立,高洁,自由等喻义。是追寻魏晋风骨的表现。”

dsc_3145

 

dsc_3142他的展出作品包括《鹤太极》系列。

张方白,1965年出生于湖南衡阳。其作品就像其名,多以黑白表现。他说他要表现一条灵魂之路。

dsc_3175“我画鹰的标本,是对现代人精神离去的悲哀;我画塔,是对中国人内心信仰缺失的忧虑;而一笔弧线是在一瞬间中体验禅意。艺术语言一直是艺术家存在的显现。我的艺术语言,起步于抽象表现。通过长期对中国水墨,碑帖,线条的体悟,从而形成我的毛茸茸的线条感,画的造型的凝固感。我不太在意对艺术的种种玄说鹤花招。我体会到通过个人的绘画个性的,造型的,低沉的劳作,更能接近道的精神,艺术的本源。”他参加展出的作品是鹰。

dsc_3177通过浦参的讲解,让大家感觉上了一堂艺术课。

中欧文化协会会长陈雪霏说,中欧文化协会的宗旨也是让会员能够有机会欣赏艺术,不断学习,希望今后能与文化中心进行密切合作。她对浦参的热情接待和耐心详细的讲解表示深深地感谢。

Ambassador Chen Yuming Talks about China and the World in Figures

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 28 (Greenpost)–A grand celebration  of the 67th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China has been held in the Chinese Embassy in Stockholm.

thumb_dsc_3057_1024Chen Yuming, Chinese Ambassador to Sweden spoke highly about remarkable achievements China made over the past 67 years with interesting figures.

“67 and 6.7. China has traveled a remarkable journey in the past 67 years, increasing its per capita GDP from 35 to 8 thousand US dollars amid the population growth from 400 million to 1.3 billion.” said Chen.

“China has lifted more than 700 million people out of poverty, and increased the size of our middle income group to over 100 million people. China has accomplished just in a few decades what has taken other countries several hundred years to achieve.  As the engine for global growth, how the Chinese economy is doing is a topic of great interest.”

China’s growth rate of 6.7 percent in the first half of the year is still among the fastest in major economies despite of the slowdown.

China’s economic aggregate has exceeded 10 trillion US dollars, steadily contributing about 25 percent to global economic growth.

Ambassador Chen said China will continue to deepen reform and further open up with more efforts being put on innovation, being in harmony, being green and open and share the development put forward by the new five-year plan.

Ambassador Chen also mentioned the 20 referring to the G20 Hangzhou Summit recently held in China.  With the theme of Towards an innovative, invigorated, interconnected and inclusive World Economy, Hangzhou Summit has achieved fruitful results.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon applauds the G20 Hangzhou Summit for its two historic breakthroughs in promoting the sustainable development agenda and tackling climate change.

Ambassador Chen said this year marks the 66th anniversary of the establishment of dilomatic relations between China and Sweden.

“Chinese people often say, a double six brings success.  Several days ago at the China-Swedish Entrepreneurs Round-table, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said it is the spirits of innovation and cooperation that makes Sweden one of the richest countries in Europe. He hopes that businessmen from China and Sweden can continue to work together. China also looks forward to enhancing cooperation with Sweden in such fields as politics, people-to-people links, trade and investment, innovation, and social governance. ”

dsc_2989He said China is ready to cooperate with Sweden which has joined the UN Security Council in deeper cooperation. The establishment of the China Cultural Center in Stockholm just 28 days ago will serve as a bridge connecting Europe and Asia for better mutual understanding of the two peoples.

Ambassador Chen also quoted Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s speech at the 71st Session of the UN General Assembly that only development can root out the cause of poverty, refugee crisis, war, conflict and terrorism.

He said China firmly uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, take political solutions as the right path to tackle hotspot issues, including Syrian and the Korean Peninsular issues. China supports international efforts to address the refugee issue, and will provide 300 million dollars worth of humanitarian assistance.

China is among the first to ratify the Paris Agreement. Chinese peacekeepers are risking their lives for world peace.

Progress made in Bandy and Hockey exchange between China and Sweden

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson and Perka Holmström

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 31(Greenpost)– Progress has been made in Bandy and Hockey cooperation and exchange between China and Sweden recently, said Perka Holmström,  one of the driving forces for cooperation between Sweden and China in Bandy and Hockey. 

Match i Vilda Väsby - med Shouting Zhang (1)” We made a “Pioneer Journey” for China’s Bandy and Hockey delegation from Harbin Sports University to a large part of our skating sports unique roots,” said Holmström. 

The Chinese  delegation consists of Harbin Sports University’s Sports Director Li Bindong who basically is responsible for all Olympic Medal Candidates – 3 World Cup Bandy and Ice Hockey Women, Xiao Jinqui (China Team Captain a copy of Salming), Zhang Huiri (14 year old), Du Yuchen 11 years (which became world famous with the song “Welcome to Beijing”) … Yue Qingshang, (Double Olympic Curling Medal) …and also the Sport Director for Qiqihaer University Zhang Shousheng.” said Holmström.  The following is a vivid and interesting travel log with important information about the Swedish-Chinese communication and exchange:

Bandyskridskor och Summering i Arlanda“Thursday – As our main base was in Vällingby (The first modern suburb in Sweden build 1950) … We started with Hässelby Kälvestas hockey training for 04 or where Daniel’s younger brother Leo Zhang guided three Chinese Women’s World Cup players … We also spent time with Värmdö J18 and Gustavsberg Bandy in the Archepelago… where it became the most physics as the ice unit took the day off. It was almost like in China, but we could show how to sharpen skates for both Bandy and Hockey – and also got an sharpener with us … so thanks to Värmdö Hockey and Gustavsberg Bandy.”

China group in ABB Arena Friday became Rink Bandy training, with Hammarby’s Women on the Classic Zinken … and then we saw Daniel Zhangs debut for Värmdö J18 in Ice Hockey, a game in the “Wild Väsby Ice Rink” … Yes it became a victory 4-1 for Daniels new team, and the China Bandy Captain approaching Ice Hockey World Championship too.

Saturday offered a visit to the historic Västerås. Nowadays it is named ABB Arena but for us mortals, it is – Rocklunda Forever.

Top story: China rejects the ruling of the Arbitral Tribunal in the South China Sea Arbitration

STOCKHOLM, July 12(Greenpost)–Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has rejected the Arbitral Tribunal’s ruling on the South China Sea on July 12, 2016.

The following is the full text translation of Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China on the Award of 12 July 2016 of the Arbitral Tribunal in the South China Sea Arbitration Established at the Request of the Republic of the Philippines

2016/07/12

With regard to the award rendered on 12 July 2016 by the Arbitral Tribunal in the South China Sea arbitration established at the unilateral request of the Republic of the Philippines (hereinafter referred to as the “Arbitral Tribunal”), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China solemnly declares that the award is null and void and has no binding force. China neither accepts nor recognizes it.

1. On 22 January 2013, the then government of the Republic of the Philippines unilaterally initiated arbitration on the relevant disputes in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines. On 19 February 2013, the Chinese government solemnly declared that it neither accepts nor participates in that arbitration and has since repeatedly reiterated that position. On 7 December 2014, the Chinese government released the Position Paper of the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the Matter of Jurisdiction in the South China Sea Arbitration Initiated by the Republic of the Philippines, pointing out that the Philippines’ initiation of arbitration breaches the agreement between the two states, violates the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and goes against the general practice of international arbitration, and that the Arbitral Tribunal has no jurisdiction. On 29 October 2015, the Arbitral Tribunal rendered an award on jurisdiction and admissibility. The Chinese government immediately stated that the award is null and void and has no binding force. China’s positions are clear and consistent.

2. The unilateral initiation of arbitration by the Philippines is out of bad faith. It aims not to resolve the relevant disputes between China and the Philippines, or to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, but to deny China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. The initiation of this arbitration violates international law. First, the subject-matter of the arbitration initiated by the Philippines is in essence an issue of territorial sovereignty over some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao (the Nansha Islands), and inevitably concerns and cannot be separated from maritime delimitation between China and the Philippines. Fully aware that territorial issues are not subject to UNCLOS, and that maritime delimitation disputes have been excluded from the UNCLOS compulsory dispute settlement procedures by China’s 2006 declaration, the Philippines deliberately packaged the relevant disputes as mere issues concerning the interpretation or application of UNCLOS. Second, the Philippines’ unilateral initiation of arbitration infringes upon China’s right as a state party to UNCLOS to choose on its own will the procedures and means for dispute settlement. As early as in 2006, pursuant to Article 298 of UNCLOS, China excluded from the compulsory dispute settlement procedures of UNCLOS disputes concerning, among others, maritime delimitation, historic bays or titles, military and law enforcement activities. Third, the Philippines’ unilateral initiation of arbitration violates the bilateral agreement reached between China and the Philippines, and repeatedly reaffirmed over the years, to resolve relevant disputes in the South China Sea through negotiations. Fourth, the Philippines’ unilateral initiation of arbitration violates the commitment made by China and ASEAN Member States, including the Philippines, in the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) to resolve the relevant disputes through negotiations by states directly concerned. By unilaterally initiating the arbitration, the Philippines violates UNCLOS and its provisions on the application of dispute settlement procedures, the principle of “pacta sunt servanda” and other rules and principles of international law.

3. The Arbitral Tribunal disregards the fact that the essence of the subject-matter of the arbitration initiated by the Philippines is issues of territorial sovereignty and maritime delimitation, erroneously interprets the common choice of means of dispute settlement already made jointly by China and the Philippines, erroneously construes the legal effect of the relevant commitment in the DOC, deliberately circumvents the optional exceptions declaration made by China under Article 298 of UNCLOS, selectively takes relevant islands and reefs out of the macro-geographical framework of Nanhai Zhudao (the South China Sea Islands), subjectively and speculatively interprets and applies UNCLOS, and obviously errs in ascertaining facts and applying the law. The conduct of the Arbitral Tribunal and its awards seriously contravene the general practice of international arbitration, completely deviate from the object and purpose of UNCLOS to promote peaceful settlement of disputes, substantially impair the integrity and authority of UNCLOS, gravely infringe upon China’s legitimate rights as a sovereign state and state party to UNCLOS, and are unjust and unlawful.

4. China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea shall under no circumstances be affected by those awards. China opposes and will never accept any claim or action based on those awards.

5. The Chinese government reiterates that, regarding territorial issues and maritime delimitation disputes, China does not accept any means of third party dispute settlement or any solution imposed on China. The Chinese government will continue to abide by international law and basic norms governing international relations as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, including the principles of respecting state sovereignty and territorial integrity and peaceful settlement of disputes, and continue to work with states directly concerned to resolve the relevant disputes in the South China Sea through negotiations and consultations on the basis of respecting historical facts and in accordance with international law, so as to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

Top story: China’s stance on its Territorial Sovereignty and Maritime Rights and interests in the South China Sea

STOCKHOLM, July 12, (Greenpost)- Chinese government has issued a statement on its stance on the South China Sea.

The following is the full text of the statement:

Statement of the Government of the People’s Republic of China on China’s Territorial Sovereignty and Maritime Rights and Interests in the South China Sea

2016/07/12

To reaffirm China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea, enhance cooperation in the South China Sea with other countries, and uphold peace and stability in the South China Sea, the Government of the People’s Republic of China hereby states as follows:

I. China’s Nanhai Zhudao (the South China Sea Islands) consist of Dongsha Qundao (the Dongsha Islands), Xisha Qundao (the Xisha Islands), Zhongsha Qundao (the Zhongsha Islands) and Nansha Qundao (the Nansha Islands). The activities of the Chinese people in the South China Sea date back to over 2,000 years ago. China is the first to have discovered, named, and explored and exploited Nanhai Zhudao and relevant waters, and the first to have exercised sovereignty and jurisdiction over them continuously, peacefully and effectively, thus establishing territorial sovereignty and relevant rights and interests in the South China Sea.

Following the end of the Second World War, China recovered and resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao which had been illegally occupied by Japan during its war of aggression against China. To strengthen the administration over Nanhai Zhudao, the Chinese government in 1947 reviewed and updated the geographical names of Nanhai Zhudao, compiled Nan Hai Zhu Dao Di Li Zhi Lüe (A Brief Account of the Geography of the South China Sea Islands), and drew Nan Hai Zhu Dao Wei Zhi Tu (Location Map of the South China Sea Islands) on which the dotted line is marked. This map was officially published and made known to the world by the Chinese government in February 1948.

II. Since its founding on 1 October 1949, the People’s Republic of China has been firm in upholding China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. A series of legal instruments, such as the 1958 Declaration of the Government of the People’s Republic of China on China’s Territorial Sea, the 1992 Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone, the 1998 Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Exclusive Economic Zone and the Continental Shelf and the 1996 Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China on the Ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, have further reaffirmed China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.

III. Based on the practice of the Chinese people and the Chinese government in the long course of history and the position consistently upheld by successive Chinese governments, and in accordance with national law and international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, China has territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea, including, inter alia:

i. China has sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao, consisting of Dongsha Qundao, Xisha Qundao, Zhongsha Qundao and Nansha Qundao;

ii. China has internal waters, territorial sea and contiguous zone, based on Nanhai Zhudao;

iii. China has exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, based on Nanhai Zhudao;

iv. China has historic rights in the South China Sea.

The above positions are consistent with relevant international law and practice.

IV. China is always firmly opposed to the invasion and illegal occupation by certain states of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao, and activities infringing upon China’s rights and interests in relevant maritime areas under China’s jurisdiction. China stands ready to continue to resolve the relevant disputes peacefully through negotiation and consultation with the states directly concerned on the basis of respecting historical facts and in accordance with international law. Pending final settlement, China is also ready to make every effort with the states directly concerned to enter into provisional arrangements of a practical nature, including joint development in relevant maritime areas, in order to achieve win-win results and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

V. China respects and upholds the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all states under international law in the South China Sea, and stays ready to work with other coastal states and the international community to ensure the safety of and the unimpeded access to the international shipping lanes in the South China Sea.

Sweden becomes a member of the UN Security Council

STOCKHOLM, June 29(Greenpost)–Sweden has been elected to the United Nations Security Council 2017-2018, announced Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallström on Tuesday.

DSC_7318

“Six months ago we were considered to be out of the running. Today we have a seat on the Security Council. This is a great victory for Swedish foreign policy and Swedish diplomacy,” said Wallström in a statement.

“For a government that stands for solidarity and cooperation, a seat on the Security Council is an acknowledgement that a global policy for sustainable peace and development pays off. For the United Nations, this means that one of its largest donors is taking its engagement and ideas, along with its demands for reform and change, into the organisation’s innermost room,” said the statement.

“During our two-year term, we will take our share of responsibility for international peace and security that membership of the Security Council entails. On 1 January 2017, when we take our seat at the table that has become a symbol of world affairs, we will do so as President, at the same time as the next Secretary-General of the United Nations takes office,” said Wallström.

Sweden’s candidacy was based on issues and on a belief in dialogue and diplomacy as tools. Deeper contacts with many countries around the world have given us a better understanding of how today’s challenges are perceived and experienced, but also a basis for advancing Sweden’s vision of democracy and human rights, gender equality and development. This is also how Sweden will work as a member:” we will listen to those concerned, defend those who need to be defended and stand up for those we believe in”.

Security, development and gender equality are interlinked. Poor countries run a much greater risk of being affected by conflict. Sweden will work to make the Security Council better at acting before conflicts erupt.

“We will work to make the Security Council see the nexus between security, development, climate and gender equality. We will work to highlight the perspective of women in conflict situations. Half of the world’s population cannot be excluded if we want to achieve sustainable peace,” said Wallström in the statement.

Wallström said the UN must become more open – even more open. “We want to work for greater transparency and openness in the Security Council. We want to talk with countries, rather than about countries. We want to strengthen dialogue with civil society, women’s organisations and other peace actors. This is how to build a peaceful world.”

She said Sweden will deal with issues on the Security Council agenda on the basis of Swedish values. “The last time we had a seat on the Security Council, we were always the ones to emphasise international law and human rights. And that’s how it will be this time too.”

The situation in Sweden’s neighbourhood and the fact that our European security order is being challenged demonstrate the importance of respect for international rules and principles. “This perspective will be central during our two-year term on the Security Council,”.

Sweden will be a member of the UN security Council from January 1, 2017.

“We will be doing so at a time when, all around the world, uncertainty and insecurity are taking a toll on people’s lives, and the need to work together to build sustainable peace and resilient communities has never been clearer. We will do so because we are convinced that as a small and open country dependent on the rest of the world, it is in our interest to contribute to and defend the international order that has at its core the United Nations and the Security Council. And we will do so because we believe we can make a difference – through our policies, our values and our engagement,” the statement said.

STOCKHOLM, June 8(Greenpost)–Every year on June 7,8,9 these three days, Chinese students will take the entrance examination to college. While the students are sitting in the classroom, their parents are all waiting outside the classroom. It has formed an interesting scene, please look at these following photos:

In Sweden students also graduate last week, but they celebrate it with a carnival of drinking bear, shouting around the city by standing in a big truck. If you just get a small car,  there are only three or four persons, you also press the hooter and make  noises as loud as possible.  During this period of time for this group of people, it is very tolerable and no one really complains about their behavior because it just reminds everyone that they were once young too.
