01:27 This is truly amazing. And this is not just because of one person or one ministry, but because of the network and cooperation of all parties who are working together.

03:13 We have succeeded in the largest oil field in the region, but we succeeded without any interference.
03:30 In Hamburg, we had a very good reception. Hundreds of companies in Germany, large companies, in a special event, wearing black ties.
03:45 I saw the film "The Argentine James Bond".
03:48 And it is true that the hotel was the hotel of the James Bond film.
03:52 But I'm old, I can't pretend to be James Bond.
03:57 And the reception was very good. That's what they know.
04:03 So they said, "Okay, we disagree with you on this, but it's okay, we move on."
04:09 And in terms of investment, there was no negative effect. I am grateful, Alhamdulillah.
04:13 I am also worried, because I have to take care of it.
04:16 Now we are doing it, they boycott us, we are a problem too.
