We talked about our respective interests, and we saw that we share common interests, these are child protection and promotion of children’s rights. We talked a lot about the children’s Hospital of Bingerville, as you know, I will visit the Queen Fabiola Hospital later on. We also talked about addressing Child Labor issue. As you know, this is one the reasons why I came to Belgium. It was very interesting and we had a very pleasant time,”.
