Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we will begin our meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation for Burkina Faso, Minister Yoda.
Welcome, and thank you very much for taking the time out of your schedule. I'll ask you to give us your opening statement, and then we'll go around the room and have some questions and answers. We'll finish up around 12 o'clock, if that is okay.
Minister Yoda, the floor is yours. Welcome. Thank you for being here. We look forward to hearing your remarks.
