Henry Kissinger, the most powerful diplomat in the world

Wednesday morning news broke that Dr. Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State, is the most influential person in the world. Passed away at his home in Connecticut at the age of 100 years and 6 months. Kissinger just celebrated his 100th birthday on May 27, 2023, a casual Saturday today. Amidst the changing world geopolitics I invite readers to get to know Kissinger.

Henry Kissinger is the President’s Secretary of State Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford In the Cold War era of the 1970s, the most outstanding works were Establishing US-China relations and the Soviet Union and the end of the Vietnam War

This July 2023. Henry Kissinger At over 100 years old, he still visited Beijing as a friend of China and met President Xi Jinping Chinese leaders who received him with honor at the Diaoyutai reception room As the founder of relations between the United States and China during the Cold War era, he met Chinese Defense Minister Li Changfu and met Wang Yi, a top Chinese diplomat who is currently appointed Chinese Foreign Minister.

Today’s visit to Beijing Kissinger Advised Chinese leaders that the two countries (US and China) should resolve misunderstandings. Live together peacefully avoid confrontation Kissinger also recommends The Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the United States have increased communication. and do our best to develop relations between the two nations in a positive way. To maintain world peace and stability

It is strange after president color Meet with Kissinger Before going to the APEC summit in the United States with President Joe Biden In San Francisco, November 15, what the two leaders discussed was exactly what Kissinger had recommended. The two leaders’ negotiations were tactful. Walk around the garden and talk smilingly in front of the media. There are no symptoms of alienation like before. The Chinese and US militaries also agreed to have more communications. To avoid tension that will arise.

I had the opportunity to meet Kissinger Once in Bangkok, almost 20 years ago, I saw it then. Kissinger Become a personal guest of Mr. Phithak Inthawittayanan Former Deputy Foreign Minister, former Deputy Prime Minister, I had a conversation on a Chao Phraya River cruise and had a meal. Kissinger also kindly wrote a letter recommending my son’s admission to the Rochester Institute of Technology.

international political concept of Kissinger It played an important role in US foreign policy during the first two decades of the Cold War. In the days when it was Minister of Foreign Affairs to the President Richard Nixon Considered the most powerful foreign minister in the world. international political concept of Kissinger That is, emphasizing stability in the structure of the world order. so that world peace continues “If there is no stability in the international order There is no way for peace to occur.” As we saw in the era where “A world of disorder” from the thuggery of the United States today

way “Create world stability” and “Peace in the World Order” In the concept of Kissinger is “creating a balance of power (Balance of Power) between great powers” because in international relations “There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies. There are only permanent interests.” Therefore, great powers must not consider national interests that are too overwhelming. until it destroys the stability of the world order (As the United States is doing) and must lead to the creation of a balance of power, otherwise there will be a War of All Against, a war of strife, etc.

I think Henry Kissinger’s foreign policy ideas are still relevant today, more than 50 years later. The world needs a balance of power. Want to have order and peace.
