Ancak, bu yakınlaşmanın gelecekteki seyri, iki tarafın (ve başka tarafların) çetrefilli bazı meseleleri nasıl ele alacaklarına bağlı. Taraflar, ikili ilişkilerdeki olumlu ivmeyi sürdürmek için çaba sarf etmeye devam etmeli.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

But much depends on how the two sides (and other parties) manage various thorny issues. They should make every effort to sustain the momentum that has begun to take hold.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
