Could you please provide an overview, General, about the activities in the Arctic? We have three oceans surrounding our country and I understand that the United States has pivoted toward the Pacific. The Arctic is becoming a very interesting place for some nations who would like to claim a little bit more than they need to. In this context I would like to ask you if you could elaborate on what the threats are in the Arctic, what kinds of operations are conducted by some other nations, and what we can do to preserve our sovereignty in the Arctic.
