"It is our wish to build more constructive relations between our nations in the coming future as well", Minister Vàn Quang Dinh said. "However, as you may underestand, I can not give your government assurances about the future of the children, as it is role of our government to decide on such issues".
"And while we have the will to find a solution, which is not only the best for our diplomatic relations but for the children as well", Minister Vàn continued, "it is certainly a complicated issue - and find a solution will not be that easy, unfortunately. As you may know, our government is facing right much more serious problems regarding the future of our nation. And we are certainly constrained by what is possible legally and what is possible politically".
"Technically speaking", Vàn said, "there can not be legally a pardon until the trial -and certainly there should be a trial-, and that may take still some time. Not too long, as we are trying to solve the situation as soon as possible, but it can not be done in one day, obviously. Regarding the political side, I am forced to ask your government to have discretion and secrecy in any negotiation regarding this issue, as the future of Mister Jones and the Princess may be controversial in our country".
