PRIME MINISTER:
I think almost certainly, just exactly as the European Sunni t
at Kadrid did a few days ago. I do not think we could ignore it,
people would not understand if we ignored it.
The world was so
shocked about what happened and most of us thought that the economic
reforms which were giving more latitude to the people of China had
made such an event unthinkable.
And I am afraid in this world we are all being taught a very
severe lesson that even today, even with all we know about
civilisation, people can still go back to the policies of former
ages. So I think the world would not understand unless we made our
views known once again.
