Wikileaks revelations may have a positive influence on international relations, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"I believe that the Wikileaks affair should improve the international climate although a number of countries may consider these activities illegal," Medvedev said.
In late November 2010, the WikiLeaks website began releasing a huge number of confidential U.S. diplomatic cables that contain, in particular, forthright comments about many world leaders.
The president also said that Wikileaks information on Russia contained nothing new.
"I sometimes felt that most Wikileaks revelations were taken from general political websites," he added.
According to Medvedev, the Internet connects billions today and no secret is secure against revelation.
