One cannot negotiate under fire.

I'm not big with negotiating.

The whole concept of negotiating is intimidating to many people.

Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.

Let no one think that flexibility and a predisposition to compromise is a sign of weakness or a sell-out.

Of course as a small country you're not necessarily in the strongest negotiating position unless you're negotiating with other small countries.

I'd like to add that negotiating is not something to be avoided or feared - it's an everyday part of life.

Anything can be negotiated if you have a strong leader.

I'm willing to negotiate, but not compromise my core principles.

Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg.
