Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

I was present in Bali and was able to observe the work of the minister at that conference. The minister played hooky from several meetings.

My first question is simple. Can you confirm that during the last 48 hours of the conference in Bali, the minister left an important meeting of presidents who were seeking a consensus in the international community with regard to the Bali conference? Can you confirm that the minister left a meeting of presidents close to 48 hours before the end of the conference?
