Pitanguy 145

And I remember Dr. Fred Sai, from Ghana, he was the chairperson of that particular meeting, and he said, "Here, we don’t give the Vatican the monopoly of ethics.” There are certain moments like this where you say, “Ah, you know, this is fantastic, you know. That’s it. They don’t have the monopoly of ethics. We are here to set up new ethics in terms of population issues, and that’s what we are doing,” you know? So, I think that to be there, to be following every word, every comma, every dot, to be all the time inside the UN, talking to the various delegations, etc., was key for the success afterwards at the conference.
