The German Permanent Representative during the speech said that he "always admires Russian diplomacy." Heusgen also pointed out that “in German diplomacy, when you learn how to approach a country with which there may be difficult relations, when there is a president with whom you are not very good, and when there is a newcomer, the new president, inexperienced, you send him rhetorical flowers. ”
“But this is not recorded in the MGIMO textbooks, they say that when a new inexperienced leader comes to power in another country, you should try to intimidate or provoke him,” he said.
In response, the Russian permanent representative asked how Heusgen could get a Russian secret diplomatic textbook.
“How did you get our diplomatic textbook?” Practically read from it - I find out from my years at MGIMO - everything was so, that’s what it’s written there, then I’ll tell you what it is, ”Nebenya answered ironically.
