T: There are so many problems. What should we do? The head leaders are worried about this too. So they sat together to talk about the solutions. We call the conferences they attend summits. Meanwhile we call the top part of a mountain a summit. The head leaders from all over the world at the summit are representatives. They are talking about the problems, and most of the problems are in rural areas. Most rural arrears are in poverty. If they still remain in poverty, there will be more violence. So our premiers are worried about this. They hope our country prospers and they also hope we can live in harmony with nature.
