+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> out' their responses or/and speak their native language just to demonstrate
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> their nations' sovereignty; neither of these reasons seems justifiable.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> A professional interpreter I know who often works in this field of
+</I>&gt;<i> high level political talks (for the German government) explained it to
+</I>&gt;<i> me: it is for both reasons, first giving the politcian the security of
+</I>&gt;<i> having a professional translation (in case he overheard something),
+</I>&gt;<i> second to have time to contemplate what the other one is really saying
+</I>&gt;<i> between the lines and finding the right answer. But he also told me
+</I>&gt;<i> that the important conversations are often held in private, without
+</I>&gt;<i> any secretary or interpreter. :)

+Good information, now I have better understanding.
