Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The Asian century is now—we are actually standing in it. It is time for action, not just aspirations and grand rhetoric. Although the minister has not provided details of action on new funding for public schools or Asian languages, can he at least please provide some time frames for when we will see substantive and not merely aspirational policy announcements on what are very important issues.
