Our differences are policies; our agreements, principles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our goal should be to understand our differences.
I have no problem saying that I have differences in policy with the United States.
Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do.
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.
Our strategic dialogue with China can both protect American interests and uphold our principles, provided we are honest about our differences on human rights and other issues and provided we use a mix of targeted incentives and sanctions to narrow these differences.
Countries are different. They make different choices. We cannot harmonise everything.
We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people.
It is our task to provide policies suited to the different situations of today.
While there continues to be differences, the important point is that all citizens and elected officials use democratic and legal avenues for solving those differences.
Our security and sovereignty stand together.
