Good afternoon.
We are very delighted this afternoon to have in the second hour of our meeting our friends from the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia. There is also a delegation from the House of Representatives of Indonesia.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1953, Canada and Indonesia have maintained a very strong and friendly partnership. We continue to work together on many different issues, including human rights, governance, and pluralism. We work together very closely with Indonesia on counter-terrorism as well.
So we're delighted today in our foreign affairs committee to welcome this delegation. We look forward to some comments you may have.
I would hope that today, in the spirit of what we're trying to do here, you would even be willing to perhaps field a couple of questions that we may have about your country and on the different issues I've mentioned, and maybe others.
Welcome.
I'll pass it over to you for any comments you may have.
