So far as it depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Future peace, prosperity and confidence depend not just on ourselves but on the success of all nations. Hence, we are all partners, no matter what our backgrounds, cultures, faiths and histories.
That future depends on the values of self-government, our sense of duty, loyalty, self-confidence and regard for the common good. We are a diverse country, and getting more diverse. And these virtues are what keep this great country together.
We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.
Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.
The United States has got to adopt a policy of befriending and creating allies around the world.
I believe mutual respect for one another and cooperation should be the basis for relationships with foreign nations.
Those who insist on having hostilities with us, kill and destroy the option of friendship with us in the future, which is unfortunate because it is clear the future belongs to Iran and that enmities will be fruitless.
At the beginning of the new century, it is the common aspiration of the peoples of the two countries to deepen mutual understanding, enhance trust, develop friendship and strengthen cooperation.
Our policy is to deepen the relations with all the countries in the world - monarchies, kingdoms, large powers - we want to respect all differences and have our relationships based on mutual respect.
Let me be very clear: my friendship with my friends ends where the interest of the country begins.
