Chu Viet Cuon:Well, just to mention at our panel discussion, we think that we did very big successful, I mean, in Australia market from last year. So currently we have 50 flights per week from Vietnam to Australia. We reach 5 destinations, 5 big cities of Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane as well. So we're not just only from Vietnam, just only from Ho Chi Minh City, but this year we just opened direct flight from Hanoi, capital of Vietnam, to Melbourne and Sydney as well. And we expect this in the near future when we— I mean, our aircraft, new aircraft orders, 28 A330neo, will be delivered. And then we have enough aircraft, we will fly to, for instance, to Brisbane daily, not just only from Ho Chi Minh City, but from Hanoi and from Da Nang, Nha Trang as well. New Zealand, it is a very potential market for us because people, Vietnamese people, they love to go to, I mean, New Zealand, not just only for travel, but for study for young people and for business as well. So we expect this when we have in 2026, when 20 aircraft will be delivered from Airbus. So then we will go to New Zealand. And New Zealand, we need support from Australian government to let us to stop. I mean, it is just only in Melbourne, in Sydney Airport, and Brisbane as well. So then we can go to, I mean, New Zealand. Currently, as you know, we have 7 A330, but just only not neo, and just only we take from, I mean, AirAsia X. So this is good aircraft currently now, but when we expand our business, We need more aircraft, which just like you mentioned, it is modern cabin facilities, new one for— I mean, it is for Vietjet. You know, everyone, we are low-cost airline, LCC, but we change this definition because if you fly to Australia and future in New Zealand, you have business class. Yeah, so this is, this is the first time, I think, for low-cost airline we have business class. We have SkyBoss class and economy class. Thank you.
