Well, the usual of course: bilateral relations, international issues and perhaps they talked about last Sunday’s NBA game between the Lakers and Spurs in which the Lakers lost 91-79. Or, maybe they talked about the six Greek IslandsHis Highness recently purchased for a bargain price of 8.5 million Euros. Who knows.
