Order. I think we're ready to go.
Appearing from the Embassy of the Republic of Peru, I'm very pleased to welcome His Excellency Ambassador Jorge Castañeda. Thank you for returning and being with us.
We also have the deputy head of mission, Pedro Builtrón, and Minister Librado Orozco Zapata visiting us today.
I am going to ask His Excellency to give a brief opening statement, which will be followed by questions. In the interests of time and of the committee, we're going to stick pretty carefully to our time limit.
Ambassador, please begin.
