¶ 01 I do not understand that point. I asked about the last 20 years’ export totals in SLR and USD, and as a percentage of GDP. Now there is an impediment to that. I request a detailed answer as this affects our exports and you have traveled overseas on this. How far have discussions progressed to advance our exports?
