Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Minister, and to many of your colleagues, let me just say a personal word of welcome. It's a great pleasure to see so many distinguished public servants here listening to what we have to say. I appreciate your statement, Minister.
I'm wondering if I could ask you about page 5 of your remarks. I'll just talk about Afghanistan for a minute. You'll appreciate that in 10 minutes it's pretty hard to have a consistent line of questioning, but I'm going to do my best. I'm going to start with Afghanistan. I'm then going to ask you some questions about your statements about focus and priorities, and then I want to turn to Sri Lanka, if I may, at the end.
Minister, with respect to the statement, “We will help to enhance the Pakistan-Afghanistan bilateral dialogue”, what form is that taking? Can you give us some greater detail on what that actually means?
