'High regard' "I regret that these words were used. I have extremely high regard for Mrs Gandhi as a statesman”, Mr Kissinger, 82, said. "The fact that we were at cross purposes at that time was inherent in the situation but she was a great leader who did great things for her country." "This was somebody letting off steam at the end of a meeting in which both President Nixon and I were emphasising that we had gone out of our way to treat Mrs Gandhi very cordially," he said. "There was disappointment at the results of the meeting. The language was Nixon language."
