00:00The meeting with Vice President Vance was outstanding, very, very good, very clear.
00:28I think we made our position amply clear on this question of mediation, and Vice President Vance fully understood our points.
00:37The main point is mediation implies an equivalence between two parties, and there can be no equivalence between terrorists and their victims,
00:46between those who are offering safe havens to terrorists, and on our hand, multi-party democracy.
00:54On the one hand, a place from which attacks are coming, another country which is in the process of defending itself, exercising its right to self-defense.
01:02There can be no equivalence.
01:04And therefore, I think that we suggested that that would not be an appropriate way of looking at it.
01:09And the message has been very clearly understood by the Vice President, and certainly at other levels of the system, I think the message has been clearly understood.
