Ingen kan, ligegyldigt hvor dygtig De er, hvilket vi alle er klar over, forestille sig både at forsvare samtlige landes interesser og udfylde den diplomatiske rolle, som vores gamle nationers historie tillader os at udfylde, hvad enten det er Spaniens rolle over for Latinamerika, Frankrigs rolle over for Afrika osv.
No one can picture you, whatever your qualities, which everyone recognises, promoting both the interests of all of these countries and maintaining the diplomatic channels that the history of our ancient nations could allow us to fulfil, either with Latin America for Spain, Africa for France, etc.
