partner spoke at the edgy moscow urban forum. >> i think the thing that worked out best was international cooperation. >> reporter: russian-american relations are at the lowest -- i have to go there. >> you're going to go there. >> reporter: their lowest point in a long time. >> i think it's wrong to say american/russian relations are at their worst point. what is at a bad point is our leadership around the world. but i think the people that are actually making this world a better place are doing so more cooperatively and more effectively than ever before. this is a park for centuries. this is a piece of the city that will last well beyond anybody's lifetime. it's a park for, you know, eternity.
