The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources denied a local report claiming Washington Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick expressed distrust of the National Intelligence Service during strategic investment negotiations. The National Intelligence Service also issued a notice stating it had received no information regarding the alleged remark.
