We have created stability, which is a necessary condition for development. But I can't call this system authoritarian.

I was told that [Japan journalists] wanted to see my dog, Yume. You can see that she is in great shape.

As for the President-elect [Donald Trump], he has his own views on things, and this is also fairly natural.

I'm convinced that democracy cannot be exported from one country to another, like you cannot expert revolutions, ideology.

All civilised countries should unite in the fight against international terrorism.

In 2009, US President [Barack] Obama said that the missile defense only serves as protection from Iranian nuclear missiles. But now there is an international treaty with Iran that bans Tehran from developing a potential military nuclear project.

In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter.
