A diplomatic career is very interesting. It helps young people just to travel a lot, to live in other countries, to see how people live there, to study foreign languages. So it's an interesting career. Yes, there are some troubles, yes there are some obstacles, yes there are some difficulties, hardships even, because there is quite a number of countries where wars are going on or the whole situation is not so good from the point of view of personal safety and security. But diplomatic presence is very important, and we and our Chinese colleagues and people from other countries have to serve their countries in different parts of the world. So it's better for young people to be prepared for such troubles, and clearly understand that the interesting moments of a diplomatic career overweigh these troubles.

Han Hua: Secretary Blinken mentioned in the Munich Security Conference that if you're not on the table, you're on the menu. Ambassador Wu Hailong mentioned this and made some comments about the Secretary of State’s words; just now you said Russia does not have special aspirations, Russia just want to go back to the table not as a junior member, but as an equal partner. How do you see Blinken’s comments regarding tables and menus?

Andrei Denisov: It depends on our partners around the table. But when Blinken said that some are equal around the table and some are not, my foreign minister replied, beware of choking, sitting around such a table where you consider others as juniors who are not there to be seated. If the table is round, then everybody must be in an equal position.
