    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, as a former ambassador, I would have preferred to say something on the State Department for Foreign Affairs budget. On this particular one, I support. The Government needs to set up more consular stations, especially in countries like China. For a long time, we have wanted a consulate in Quanzhou and in other far- reaching areas. That is very important. This information can also be relevant in the vote that we have just passed. As a matter of commenting, one of the areas we are failing in our foreign service is sending diplomats to countries where they do not even know the language. An American Ambassador or a British High Commissioner can never be sent to China unless they know Chinese. So, I hope that the Foreign Service Institute will prepare our diplomats a bit better. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is being run by one Minister who also has another budget in the Cabinet. So, I hope it can save some money from that and use it for training of our civil servants."
