00:37 that can deliver democracy and good governance, no alternative.

01:08 It is important that we also review some development in our sub-region,
01:13 including the move by some of our members on that military rule.
01:18 To float an alliance of size states,
01:21 the front and push back alliance appears intended to divert our attention.
01:28 From our mutual belief for democracy and
01:36 good governance that will impact the life of our people.
