At that White House -- the last one, the White House conference on global literacy, we discussed the results of UNESCO's six regional literacy conferences which have been held over the last 18 months. And this gives me a chance to thank the Permanent Reps from those six countries who hosted these conferences around the world: Those conferences were in Qatar, China, Mali, India, Azerbaijan, and Mexico. So thanks to each of you for inviting your neighborhood of countries to your country to be able to talk about what each part of the world can do to advance literacy.
