 I have been leading JICA for the past two years, and then let me start with the difficulty for Japan to proceed the people. The day asked me quite often that why Africa. And of course the biggest difficulty is the distance. It takes 15 hours or so, where you can come here by three, four hours. So Africa is for you, like Southeast Asia for Japan. And that distance means a lack of knowledge, lack of interest, and so forth. But to overcome these kinds of handicaps, Japan has been hosting the Tokyo International Conference on African Development since 1993. Actually, that was a real starting point of our African engagement, except for a few countries. We cannot compare this with France, or Britain, or even Germany, or even China, because China has a long tradition of the relationship between the third world countries, or social solidarity, and so forth. But Japan was treated as a kind of honorary white in South Africa, so Japan's real engagement started after the end of apartheid. And then it all started in 1993, for every five years. That had been a kind of Africa awareness week, also, frankly speaking. But last year, we had a ticket six in Kenya, Nairobi. The first one in held in Africa, which was a big success, I think I can say. Here I found the two positive changes on the part of Africa. One is the rise of the good leaders who understand the situation of those respective countries, what they have, what they do not have, what they need, and then trying to listen to the advice from other countries, and then trying to create a good strategy for development. And the second point, which is related to the first one, was that there are many countries relying less on resources, so that they have suffered from the sharp drop of resource prices many times, and then now they are trying to make more industrialization than relying on resources. That's a very positive development, I think. In the recent past, I think the resourceless countries are making, in general speaking, better progress, development than resourceful countries. And then our approach is, we want to respond to this, our approach, Japan's approach is focusing on such areas like agriculture, public health, education. These are the traditional areas, which are the same for the Southeast Asian countries. And also, this is our own experience in major period. We focus on public health, agriculture, and so forth. You know, everyone needs food, but one of the weak points for African development is that they need, the living cost is relatively high. So they cannot take advantage of the low living cost, and then take advantage of the comparative, the low labor cost, and then trying to make export. That has not been done in Africa. So why don't you start with the improvement of agriculture? You may know probably the NERICA, that's a contribution to Japan. Now we can see many countries eating a lot of rice. In Senegal, for example, people eat more rice than young Japanese people. And then also, by the way, one of the most difficult things in Africa is the refugee from South Sudan to Uganda. And then in the northern part of Uganda, thanks to the contribution assistance from Ugandan government and people. There is almost a million refugees. We are supporting them by teaching how to get rice. You know, by teaching the technology of rice production, we are trying to make them stand up. Anyhow, agriculture is one thing. And also, one thing which was very successful in the last IKAT meeting last year was IFNA, Initiative for Nutrition in Africa. You know, not only food, but food should be something with a very good nutrition. And then it was very well accepted by the African people in Nairobi. So we are now promoting this one beyond Africa. You know, there are countries where people do not have enough nutrition, but there are many countries where people have too much nutrition. And then this is very important. This is related to public health. In public health, Japan started a system of a mother-child health handbook in 1948, and which is a small handbook. Every woman is given when she found herself pregnant. And then on which is a very almost all the important data are written, such as when she was found pregnant, how heavy her baby was, what kind of shots were given to them. And then this is, we are promoting this one in Asia, Thailand, in Asia, and also in Africa too, in several countries, which are quite successful. This can be a basis of public health. And then we are also supporting the education. Both in primary education and higher education. Therefore, ideally, we are really willing to provide a mother-child health handbook and then supporting, providing them a basic knowledge about health in kindergarten or elementary school. And then hopefully we can provide the school feeding in the school. And then, as I said already, agriculture production is very important. Hopefully, let's make it create a value chain so that they can export it to foreign countries. This kind of rather comprehensive approach is what we are thinking, and we are trying to persuade the African leaders we found that if they are willing to understand this necessity. By the way, in the area of public health, one of the Japan's contribution was the odyssey, which was very useful to prevent malaria. And then I think it was widely used to UN and other organizations. Still, I have to say that Africa is very far. We are trying to promote the interest of small and medium-sized businesses in Japan. In Japan, 99% are the small and medium-sized businesses. Many of them have a lot of innovative ideas located in local areas. So we are trying to promote them, asking them to go to foreign countries first to Southeast Asia. We are there going quite a lot. And then now some of them are coming to Africa. And then up to the last ticket meeting in 2000, last or the one before last, the business which had interest in Africa are the trading companies. They had a lot of interest in resources. But now we are trying to mobilize more of the interest, small and medium-sized businesses to create something small is OK. But so that people from Africa can export and then create some money. And so that they can create their own businesses. For these purposes, we have a couple of things as the tools of this. For example, JICA has been sending volunteers, JOCB, Japan overseas volunteers. The first of the JOCB was started in Ghana and Morocco, this country. And then this year we celebrated the 58th anniversary of the JOCB in Morocco, which has been very successful. And then they are, of course, communicate the people in a local area, learning the language. So they are very good at developing the very good contacts between people to people. Not only that, they can bring some ideas about the industry, export industry and so forth. Yeah, one of them is, I'll conclude, is, you know, we are trying to invite more students from Africa by the name of Abe Initiative. Abe is not Abe Shinzo. This is the African Business Education Program. And then through your teaching in Japan and then including some internship in the businesses, which will connect students more of the relationship between African businesses and Japanese businesses. Thank you.
