The fact is that co-operation between independent countries - to our mutual advantage - is the way of the modern world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think every country has to recognize its competitive advantage and liberate its strengths to be a partner in global trade, and that's the only way you can survive and succeed.
The countries that share this conception should be able to go further together, without excluding the others, since they can still live in a greater community of exchange and co-operation.
Our alliances should be understood as a means to expand our influence, not as a constraint on our power. The expansion of democracy and freedom in the world should be a shared interest and value with all nations.
Peace and commerce with foreign nations could be more effectually and cheaply cultivated by a common agent; therefore they gave the Federal Government the sole management of our relations with foreign governments.
I believe mutual respect for one another and cooperation should be the basis for relationships with foreign nations.
International cooperation, multilateralism is indispensable.
Co-operation between governments still plays an important role and will remain indispensable.
An increasingly multipolar world requires an entirely different kind of U.S. foreign policy: far from being unilateralist, it necessitates a complex form of power-sharing on both a global and regional basis.
However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.
I don't think countries engage with each other looking at immediate gains. It's building a partnership.
