    Peter, thank you for the report. I saw some photos of Chumbe island and the place is just beautiful. You gave us the basic information of CHICOP this time. I believe there are other ambassadors who want to know more. You can give us specific acts carried out by CHICOP, what challenges did it overcame, what the major hurdles lying in front of CHICOP are.
