We welcome the Minister of State's remarks. He talked about rapid and welcome progress. The other reforms, including around the protection of human rights, are important. Through a partnership agreement, those issues can be monitored in a more practical way and support can be given. From that point of view, the agreement is welcome. I thank the Minister of State for engaging with the committee and presenting to it.
