"We wonder what exactly Novak means with that statement? The Kingdom and German Democratic Republic have a long history of friendship and prosperous trade relations. The very question of a nation hating the other does not arise."

"This is reflective of the courteous and civilized nature of relationship between our two nations and a measure of our trust in each other. Essentially treaties are matters of honor, and the mutual agreement is an essential part of the formation as well as cancellation. We understand how such a treaty may be incomprehensible for most nations, who are only comfortable with unilateral cancellations, but this may be a new way forward as a template for international friendships ad alliances."
