I don't have the exact figures on how much our embassy operations cost on a year-to-year basis. However, I can say that, over the last seven years, we have provided, on average, $6.5 million in development assistance to the Cuban people through our international humanitarian partner agencies.
On the question about diplomatic presence, we have traditionally maintained one in Cuba because of our long-standing relationship with the country. We have been committed to having an open dialogue with them, with a view to promoting co-operation, collaboration, trade and investment ties, and people-to-people ties. We also have frank and honest conversations in areas in which we don't see eye to eye, such as human rights practices and international alignment with other state actors, such as Nicaragua—previously, it was Venezuela—Russia and China.
