Part of the procedure is that there could be a charge on the Exchequer. Will the Minister explain what that might mean?

The Minister mentioned humanitarian assistance through civil society organisations. Who are they? I am trying to determine the extent of our engagement to date in Mongolia.

The Minister mentioned trade opportunities. What does the Minister envisage will be those trade opportunities?

The Minister mentioned money laundering and illicit drugs. I must confess that Mongolia was not on my radar as a place where either of those activities took place; I may have missed something in that regard. I do not think we know very much about Mongolia.
