Under the instruction of both leaders, President Yeltsin and Prime Minister Obuchi, both Foreign Ministers and also the Deputy Foreign Ministers have been making tremendous efforts. We still continue this very enhanced form of efforts between the two countries and we hope that we can really materialize our efforts by the target date. You say no substantive change will be made in the assistance, but this shift is a bit difficult. As you know, there are many different kinds of assistance. In our Government, we usually talk about grant assistance and technical assistance.
Technical assistance is also a sort of grant assistance.
Generally speaking, we understand that the recipients of the grant shall be the low-income countries. Therefore we think that the situation has developed enough for us to shift our forms of assistance to Peru from grant to loan. That is what we have been doing until now, and we would like to apply this principle also to our assistance to Peru in the future. In the near future. We are already talking with the Peruvian side concerning our loan.
