Comorian people and of my Government, I would therefore like to thank all the partners and friends who offered us urgent humanitarian aid to help us address that dramatic situation. The unprecedented storms led my Government to draw up a rapid recovery plan, with the aid and support of the international community. It will enable us to better help those affected and to restore destroyed infrastructure throughout our territory. That plan, which contains procedures aimed at restoring the situation within a period of six to 12 months, was launched at a round table held on 5 September in Pretoria, with the fraternal support of our friendly brother country, the Republic of South Africa. I would therefore like to appeal to all here to help finance the rapid recovery plan, whose cost has been estimated at $18 million. That will allow my country to better face the current situation and to better prepare for the future. The time has come to relaunch with greater determination a number of pending international issues,
