Thank you. Well, I'm very interested in particular in linking up with the Polish community, because it's one of our biggest diaspora communities in Wales. I certainly underlined that to the Polish ambassador when I met him in London recently. So, rather than waiting for them to come to Wales now, part of what I'm trying to do is to go to London, invite them to come to us, so that we can give them those clear messages. One of the things you'll see in the international strategy is we're going to be celebrating a different community every year and, certainly, one of the ones that I would want to be celebrating is the Polish community. As it happens, we're inviting the German national disapora, which is one of our largest diaspora in Wales, to come and join us to meet with the ambassador next week.
