Speaker, you know, in the sessions in which I participated we did not discuss African debt. It could have been discussed in other sessions; I can't remember. Of course, that is an issue that remains with countries because debt in Africa is not owned collectively. Individual countries have their debts and they have been trying very hard - and I think they have done a lot of work - to address the question of the debt. But it was not an issue that we specifically focused on there in order to find a solution. Thank you.
