I just showed you a photograph of myself at five years old. I'm posing in front of the parliament building there and so I warmly welcome you to the White House. Indeed. Thank you. Well thank you very much Vice President and I must and also by congratulating you. It's a bit late but we did it at the right time. You and the President for winning your elections here in a I think decisive way. And we're following in your footsteps. We too were delivered by the people of Zambia in a substantial way under very difficult circumstances. Democratic space not being available since you talked about democracy. So but we're very grateful to be here to be invited to the White House after so many years of leaders before us who were not able to be invited here. So we feel honored Vice President that we're here. I think you touched on the most important issues the important issues to do with valuing democracy valuing democracy the rule of law institutionalism if I may use that expression for us to be able to run our countries in a manner that would deliver what we may call democracy dividend delivering accelerated economic growth development to offer opportunities to our people. I think Vice President that's what will sustain democracy. That's what will make democracy attractive. If we don't do that we'll probably be giving space to other forms of leadership and the one we fear most or we don't agree most is one which is autocratic one which is heavy handed. We're almost getting there in Zambia so we're very delighted that the people of Zambia especially the young people decided to give us this mandate and we intend to use this mandate very carefully diligently to deliver for them. Of course the issue of climate change is very important. I'm sure you may have noticed that for the first time in the history of our country we've set up a ministry of green economy and environment to deal specifically with issues relating to the greenhouse gases so we can say to make sure that whatever we do to grow economies to provide for our people we should not do it at the expense of future generations. It's very important to us and I think it's also clear to us that we have alignment in our values what we believe is right what we think is right for other people. That's very important to us and we share that vision we're glad to be here. Thank you very much. Welcome, welcome. Thank you.
