We very consistently heard that our contribution is welcome and it is the right contribution to this mission. We also heard there's a need for countries around the world to provide the diplomatic and political support to this mission in Mali, and that it is very much in the interest of everyone to make sure Mali does not collapse, in terms of human trafficking, weapons trafficking, drug trafficking—all the very negative international repercussions, not to mention the very severe repercussions on the civilian population of Mali.
I understand what you're saying to me, but I still think we promised a bit more than we appear to be delivering. By extending that, we would provide significant diplomatic and political support for the mission in Mali. I'm hoping you will consider a second year of that commitment.
