Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Timor-Leste President Jose Ramos-Horta on why his country supports New Zealands bid for a seat in the UN Security Council: While a truly global power like the U.S. is indeed an indispensable country, and while major regional powers like China, Russia, Japan, Indonesia, France, Great Britain, Germany, Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, etc. are equally indispensable, the world needs small countries with decades of active engagement with the world, to facilitate dialogue, mediate and bring parties in wars to the negotiating table. New Zealand is one such country. I am absolutely confident New Zealand would make profound impact, calming tempers, infusing serenity, proposing workable compromises and sustainable agreements. huffingtonpost/jose-ramoshorta/new-zealand-time-for-a-sm_b_5740220.html
