Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here.
I'm sorry that we have this revolving door. It doesn't seem like anything has changed since you were here in December. In fact, things are taking a turn for the worse, I would say.
I wonder if any of you can speak to diplomatic initiatives that are under way. We saw the Friends of Syria group of countries that were involved and were trying to make some attempts to build some bridges. Can you speak a bit about diplomatic endeavours?
Also, could any of you speak about where China and Russia are at this point?
