 Alexander Panov, welcome to WPC-TV. You're a former deputy foreign minister of Russia and also, of course, your ambassador in Tokyo, here in Seoul. So you really know this region extremely well. What do you think of American foreign policy in this region, the pivot to Asia and so on? First of all, I would like to say that I am now deeply involved in studying actually American policy to this region, especially toward China. And I would like to say that, of course, the United States had a great role in this region. It's out of question. It will be, well, not realistic to realize that maybe to prognose that America may leave the region. It's absolutely not so. But at that time, for American policy, the greatest problem is China. What to do with China? It's really so. And well, up to this moment, there is no clear strategy, as I see. Of course, it's a combination of containment and cooperation, which is the main pillar of American policy toward China. Sometimes it's more containment, sometimes it's more cooperation. But still, what is China? What will be China in the next decade, for instance? What must be the response of the United States? It's not yet clear. And sometimes it's steps which are, well, natural when the United States is trying to invite China to some cooperation. But on the other hand, America is not hiding its attempts to contain China and arranging alliances, arranging relations with some countries, and which China regards as deterrence policy. And what does your country, Russia, feel about this? Well, Russia, unfortunately, is still not so much involved in the relations in this region. And we, I mean, some politicians, diplomats, and business people, we insist that Russia should be more involved in affairs in this region. But reality is such that the Far Eastern region and Siberia has not developed much enough for Russia to play some big role in this region. But at the same time, we saw that many countries of the region would like to have Russia here in Asia Pacific as a balance to China and to United States. So small countries, they prefer, of course, not domination of any power. So, well, we have some room for maneuver. But at this moment, of course, we're more and more inclined to have relations with China, which is natural, because there is no other choice. But at this time, for me, as for my ambassador to Japan, it's clear that we should pay more attention to our relations with Japan as well. Dutch Prime Minister, thank you very much.
