Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Ambassador. First, I want to thank you and also welcome you. I would also like to note that our committee is closely monitoring developments in the western Balkans. It's a region whose instability, generally speaking, has a direct impact on the international and global order, which is normally based on rules that Canada very actively defends.
Our committee regularly reviews Canada's contribution to international peace and stabilization missions. In light of the ongoing tensions in the region and the role played by KFOR, the Kosovo Force, in the area, I would like to know what kind of presence or engagement by the Canadian government—whether diplomatic, military or in terms of capacity building—you think would have a much more direct, concrete, efficient and, above all, lasting effect on the stability of the western Balkans.
