a few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to host the chairman chancellor in nairobi. and a gentleman in the audience did ask but with this new relationship that is beginning to emerge where china is coming in so forcefully, do you think it's going to harm your respondent was very interesting. he said, i think we should move away from the fear of trying to choose friends for africa. let africa have an opportunity to decide who can be their friends, others who will be providing to what needs to be there in the past. but the issue is, can this friendship be meaningful or not? so i think this friendship and this latitude must be led to function. thank you. >> thank you, prime minister. [applause] >> let me return now to rebeca and donald. i think three fundamental issues have arisen. one is about the governance issue that really -- governance is what defines development. good governance in particular. and that, you know, in terms of the economic or the development model maybe sometimes we do not look so much at the development -- i mean, at the governance perspective. and
