Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a number of questions, General. Since the U.S. elections, and maybe even before the results of the U.S. elections, the administration was evaluating their future in Iraq. I guess we're still waiting for ex-secretary Baker to report. Has NATO been conducting the same sort of evaluation as far as Afghanistan is concerned, and if so, when would such a report come out?
The second question would be whether Afghanistan's neighbours--for example, China or Iran--are planning to play any role in Afghanistan's future as far as economic development or security goes. These people are there; they're their neighbours. Is there any indication from them that they are planning to participate in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and to relieve the forces from NATO or from the west in that particular area?
