Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda, addresses the general debate of the 78th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (New York, 19 - 26 September 2023).

Rwanda's President Paul Kagame said his county “remains committed to working with partners, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, to contribute to a durable solution. He was referring to migration crisis, also affecting his county, saying that every year migrants and
refugees undertake dangerous journeys in search of a better future.

Addressing the General Assembly today (20 Sep), Kagame added, “that is part of our promise to leave no one behind.”

According to him, “this week, the International Telecommunications Union, led by Doreen Bogdan-Martin, together with UNDP, also unveiled a major new initiative on inclusive Digital Public Infrastructure.” He added, “Rwanda is very happy to be associated with these efforts, which show the United Nations at its best.”

The Rwandan President also said, “for Rwanda, the source of our solidarity comes from our commitment to never allow a repetition of the tragedy that was inflicted on us, nearly thirty years ago.”

Kagame concluded, “we continue to remain grateful to all who have accompanied us on our journey, as we plan to commemorate the Genocide against the Tutsi for the 30th time in April 2024.”

⁣US Secretary Blinken and the Congo president meet to discuss trade. Do you think the Congo president starts the conversation the right way. "WE HAVE LOTS OF MINERALS" - is this the best way to start a conversation.

BYD’s sales last year surpassed the $100 billion mark, leapfrogging Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. on revenue, as the Chinese auto giant wows consumers with a range of electric and hybrid cars packed with high-tech features.

Shenzhen-based BYD reported revenue of 777 billion yuan ($107 billion) for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, up 29%, according to a filing late Monday, beating estimates for 766 billion yuan. Tesla’s 2024 revenue was $97.7 billion. The Chinese EV maker’s net income rose 34% year-on-year to 40.3 billion yuan, beating analyst estimates for 39.5 billion yuan.

BYD has risen quickly to the top of China’s car market — the world’s biggest and most competitive in terms of electric vehicles. This year alone, BYD has unveiled a new ecosystem that allows EVs to charge for 400 kilometers in just five minutes and introduced advanced driver assistance technology in even its most basic models. Investors have sent its shares to a record and BYD’s Hong Kong-listed stock is up around 51% this year.

BYD also sells about the same number of EVs as Tesla — 1.76 million in 2024 versus 1.79 million — but, when all of its other passenger hybrid car sales are included, it’s much larger. BYD’s total deliveries last year climbed to 4.27 million, almost as much as Ford Motor Co.
BYD has forecast it can sell between 5 million to 6 million vehicles this year. It’s already off to a strong start, with sales in the first two months of 2025 up 93% year-on-year to 623,300 units.

One area where Tesla still clearly leads however is market valuation. The US carmaker is worth about $800 billion despite a share-price rout that’s seen the stock plunge 38% this year. BYD has a market capitalization closer to $157 billion.

Musk’s EV maker also makes more money on an absolute basis; Tesla’s net income last year was $7.6 billion.

But whereas Tesla is losing in China — shipments have been backsliding there for the past five consecutive months on a year-on-year basis — BYD is winning. China is still far and away BYD’s biggest market, where it commands a share of almost 15%, not just for new-energy vehicles but any sort of passenger car.

BYD doesn’t sell passenger cars in the US yet due to punitive tariffs on made-in-China automobiles, but it’s made big inroads into markets in Europe, places in Asia like Singapore and Thailand, as well as Australia.

Wang Chuanfu, BYD’s chairman and founder, said in a statement the company planned to keep boosting research and development while bolstering its product competitiveness, including in its focus of succeeding outside of China.

He also said that Chinese auto brands in the era of intelligence-led vehicles were no longer merely followers, but rather at the forefront of the trend. They’re “daring” to be first in the world and are collaborating with other domestic brands to go global and move up the value chain, he said.

Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, addresses the general debate of the 78th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (New York, 19 - 26 September 2023).

In his address to the General Assembly’s General Debate, the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Felix Tshisekedi, today (20 Sep) told the Security Council that the “phased withdrawal of MONUSCO is a necessary stage to consolidate progress” that the country has already achieved.

Tshisekedi said, "African peoples often don't understand the equivocal attitude, the double standards at work, the ambiguities, and procrastination of our Organization, especially the Security Council in certain political and security crises, which are rampaging through Africa and sometimes have rampaged there for decades.”

He said, “following a presence of more than two decades by the UN, it's time for my country to fully take its destiny in hand and to become the main protagonist of its own stability.”

Tshisekedi expressed gratitude to the international community and to the United Nations “for their support and their partnership.”

He said it was “illusory and counterproductive to continue to cling to maintaining MONUSCO to reestablish peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to stabilize it.”

Furthermore, he added, “the accelerated withdrawal of MONUSCO is absolutely necessary to ease the tensions between MONUSCO and our citizens.”

The United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC) was established in 1966 and renamed as the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) in 2010.
