¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, no “rubber seal” was affixed. Some earlier credit arrangements have now matured into productive cooperation. We are strengthening bilateral ties, correcting past deal-making that compromised sovereignty. With genuine intent to implement our people’s mandate, the President’s approach is recognized, which is why investments are coming. We will continue on this path.
