FOREIGN MINISTER ASRAT: "Truly a man of wise words. Such leadership is necessary should Africa ever truly hope to prosper. Your Excellency, with all due respect, is there any other primary topic for discussion for which you have called for such a meeting? As much as I am enjoying the present discussion, and do intend to continue it, I want to make sure we are able to digress momentarily and talk about any other affairs which motivated you to call for this meeting."
