I think you can guess what I'm going to ask you about, Minister, before I utter the words. John Griffiths and I have done a fair amount of work over the last couple of years with the Love Zimbabwe charity, based in Abergavenny. The charity has, as the Minister will be aware, done a great deal to build relations between Abergavenny—and Wales, indeed—and Zimbabwe. Can I thank the Minister for the recent meeting that she held with me and David and Martha Holman from the charity? As you know, there are a number of exciting projects in the pipeline. Can you tell how you're working with other towns, and villages, indeed, across Wales to try and build up those links between Wales and Africa? We've heard about the links with Pakistan and with communities in Asia. There's a lot to be done—and this Assembly has done a lot in the past—to build up relations between Wales and Africa, and I think that there's a lot to be gained, as you know yourself, from those relationships. I know that the mutual people, both in Africa and here in Wales, really do benefit from them.
