right after minister of foreign affairs you're kind of doing what the minister of foreign affairs couldn't do. but we work together with the ministry of foreign affairs which transmits all that said bits of information that are brought forth that might be of concern to them and even better and it happened to me personally often when i went to see my foreign counterparts i would always go business out a message in that country and transmit fresh analysis to the embassy so one diplomacy fails that's her secret service has come into play very good. especially useful when two countries no longer talk to you gary caldwell with the russians to . trust we have a good relationship on that ceteris part. friends as a lot of chechens who have historically requested political asylum here and we also have people who within that community or q. so they can create problems and who we found at something terrorism acts in moscow and we were able to exchange. we were able to carry out procedures and through international commissions we were able to help the russians saul's this type of problem. square seani
