We regret the misunderstanding that arose and the inconvenience caused to the senators. It would be inappropriate to talk about the 'detention' of the senators in Perm. |
We reject the contentions made in the report regarding our political process, freedoms available under the law and our constitution, functioning of state institutions, and general conditions relating to the rights and status of women and minorities. |
We strongly condemn this treacherous attack. |
We think attempts to revise widely accepted historical facts of World War II, including the Holocaust, are unacceptable. |
We think the most urgent thing for all the parties now is still to keep patient and make the utmost efforts to resume negotiations. |
We will closely monitor the new authorities' moves. We will define our relations with them according to their acts. |
We will step up the strengthening of our nuclear deterrent force as a justified self-defense measure to counter the threat increasing daily from the U.S. strategy to isolate and stifle North Korea. |
