    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there are two different issues. First of all, on the question of Rentals of Produced Assets, we, as a Ministry, have a situation where we are in the process of upgrading the quality and the level of entrepreneurship awareness of the persons we post as trade attaches. In some of the areas where we are opening new stations, there is an interim phase where they have to rent places to stay before they settle down. We are in the process of opening new commercial attache offices in Dubai, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sudan. These are the anticipated rental expenditures. Similarly, when we are doing promotional trade, through the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Department of External Trade has officers apart from the parastatal concerned, who also travel abroad, and these are the costs they incur. As part of capacity building for technical officers in trade negotiations, we get some grant support from different institutions but there is some co-financing that has to come from the Government for purposes of training our own officers."
