I am loving the 'diplo-speak'! lol!
A 'vibrant relationship', haahaa!

The reality:
“oh Gawd, do we really have to speak to that bunch of fruitcakes again?”
“Not really Sir, but it is the polite thing to do. Just smile and nod, try to look interested for 10 minutes”
“Can we get any leverage out of this?”
“None needed Sir, they know where they stand. But best to keep the lines of communication open. Good to know what these guys are upto.”
“Fine, 10 minutes it is then. Just make sure you interupt me with an 'important call from the President', or some such, when I start getting irritated.”
“certainly Sir!”
