Speaker, I thank the Deputy President for the answer. Much as we are a small country, with 50 million people, as you said, would you not agree that, in the context of international politics of this nature, our voice remains very important and significant, given the status of South Africa as a country?
Secondly, we were very concerned that up until today there was no clear position regarding government's standpoint on what is happening in Syria. It is much clearer now. Will you be able to issue the same statement outside, so that our voice and South Africa's standpoint is at least clearly and loudly heard by everybody?
Lastly, in terms of the upcoming discussion in the UN, I assume from the President's response that we will take a very hard-line position with the representatives. I hope that we actually condemn it. We must ensure that changes happen for the people of Syria. Can we take it that that is, in fact, the mandate for that discussion?
