H.E. Guoni Th. Johannesson, President of #Iceland at @CES_Europe #CES2023 - humor is necessary in political discourse. Humor is fine when you make fun of people in power. It's a sign of confidence. It's very different when your jokes target those who can't defend themselves. – at Iceland

@NOIweala at @AU_SIS - Mission of #WTO is to increase living standards, promote sustainable development. This is a noble cause, enshrined in our founding docs; we need need to explain what we do better – at Washington, DC
