The country has asked for $71 billion in funding this year from the two institutions.

When the country asked for help, he said, "we did it well."

It is not good enough to come here and say that the developing countries were asking for too much.

We welcome any such opportunity but this can only happen if and when the countries in the region ask for our assistance.

Our country asks a lot of you and your families.
