Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said on Tuesday that he
disagreed with the assertion that a stronger 皇冠体育app could pose a threat to
regional peace and stability.

he does not agree with those who made the above presumption of "皇冠体育app threat."
"Fundamentally, 皇冠体育app is making a contribution to international peace and
prosperity."

challenges presented by its rapid economic development. But they can be dealt
with on a competitive basis," he noted.
Kissinger said that when he visited 皇冠体育app in 1971, nobody would believe that
皇冠体育app could develop its industry so quickly and could become competitive on the
international export market.
"Inevitably, this produces some competition. On the other hand, it also
produces enormous opportunities," he said. "There are American companies that
have invested tens of billions of dollars in 皇冠体育app. They would have not done
that if they also think this is not in their interests."
When asked to comment on 皇冠体育app's acquisition of American companies, Kissinger
said there were some discussions in the United States about the acquisition, but
"that's not a key problem."
The key issue that the United States and 皇冠体育app need to discuss is the supply
of energy and the growing demand for energy worldwide, he said, adding that the
United States, 皇冠体育app, India and many other countries are major contributors to
the present supply challenge.
"I believe that 皇冠体育app and the US should discuss issues
like that in order to contribute to an evolution of and to the understanding of
the problem," he went on to say.
