Before Sudan staged an important matter of life and death, Li Lan, who had returned to the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa, which was more than 1,000 kilometers away from the place of the incident, also happened to meet with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who had arrived in a hurry.

Since Ban Ki-moon arrived at dusk, it happened to be the time when Li Lan and Lin Meiqi were preparing to have dinner, Li Lan also specially invited Ban Ki-moon to have dinner together.

Ban Ki-moon, who had a relatively urgent schedule, had already eaten on the plane, but he still did not refuse Li Lan's invitation, because Li Lan's invitation this time was of a friend's nature, and he was accompanied by the first lady of Somalia during the period, which was more like going to Li Lan's family dinner.

The atmosphere of a family banquet like this is the most able to bring the two sides closer, so Ban Ki-moon simply agreed.

And the atmosphere at the scene was not disappointed by Ban Ki-moon, as the Secretary-General of the United Nations, he has naturally seen countless big scenes, but an ordinary dinner like today's feels completely different to him.

A simple four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, just the three of them sat down to eat together, and at most there was an unusually huge dog next to them.

However, the Chinese pay attention to food and do not say anything, and this is not a banquet, Ban Ki-moon did not speak, and Li Lan also kept quiet at the beginning, eating quietly. It wasn't until the atmosphere was too quiet that Li Lan broke his original aura and said, "Mr. Secretary-General, is it delicious?" ”

Ban Ki-moon, who didn't feel hungry, just chewed slowly to set off the atmosphere of eating, and after hearing Li Lan's question, he was also greatly relieved in his heart and said, "It's very delicious." Strong Chinese style. ”

"Knowing that you are coming, my lady has asked for it. Don't bother the chefs in the convention center, these are Chinese home-cooked dishes in front of you. My wife cooks it herself. Unfortunately, there aren't many dishes to choose from depending on the region and climate, so it makes you smile. Li Lan smiled slightly.

"This surprised me at the same time, but also felt very honored, I also eat Chinese food often, and my wife's craftsmanship is the best Chinese food I have tasted." Ban Ki-moon did not hide the surprise on his face, the pair of men and women in front of him seemed to him to be like golden boys and girls. One is young and promising, and the other is extraordinary and like a hibiscus out of the water. However, he didn't expect that the four dishes and one soup served to him seemed simple, but the Somali First Lady personally cooked them, which was really not simple.

After receiving Ban Ki-moon's praise, Lin Meiqi also smiled slightly, gave Ban Ki-moon enough face, and said: "Thank you Mr. Secretary-General for your compliment, I am still worried that it will not be with your taste." ”

"No, no. It's delicious. Ban Ki-moon nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Actually, since I came to Somalia, there are not many things I can get used to. Fortunately, my Uchiko's craftsmanship is very good, which also saves me a lot of troubles in life. ”

"President Lee has really enjoyed the blessings of all people, and his career is now thriving. To be one of the most influential national leaders in the world, when I was your age. It's still whimsical all day long, and it's really far from you. Now he still has such a talented and beautiful lady. I don't know how many young people around the world are envious. Ban Ki-moon said with a look of envy.

"Mr. Secretary-General, that's all for the compliments, inviting you over for dinner is just to break the masks of those politicians." When Li Lan heard this, he said directly: "Now that there are no outsiders here, we can also take down the hypocritical mask of the political family, I believe that in such an atmosphere, there will be a better effect on the things we want to discuss." ”

Ban Ki-moon liked Li Lan's directness very much, and since he received Li Lan's invitation, he had thought about this, so he was no longer hypocritical, and said: "Then let's put down an unnecessary politeness and say our thoughts, and at the same time, I also guarantee that the content of today's conversation will not reach the ears of a third person." ”

Seeing that she was going to talk about business, Lin Meiqi put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm full, you guys talk slowly." After speaking, he beckoned to the general and said goodbye to the two.

Li Lan did not stop it, and Ban Ki-moon naturally did not stop it, and soon there were only Li Lan and Ban Ki-moon in this small room for dinner, and at the same time, around this room, powerful electromagnetic signals began to permeate, and a qiē monitoring and listening equipment would not be able to play an effect, and around the room, the guards also drew a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to approach.

"First of all, congratulations to President Lee for winning the Chairperson of the African Union Commission and successfully holding two seats on the Commission, which is also supported by most African countries." Ban Ki-moon first congratulated Li Lan, and then immediately got straight to the point: "The United Nations is very concerned about the progress of peace in Africa, and especially hopes that Africa can play a role in promoting Africa's prosperity and stability. The United Nations is still very relieved about the achievements of the Somali side in the African Union, after all, only a strong country can make a difference on this land. Of course, I also very much hope that President Li will be able to cooperate more with the United Nations, especially on the issue of peace in the African region, strengthen exchanges, and strive for seamless cooperation in all fields. In the coming days, I will try to help African countries get as much international assistance as possible. ”

Ban Ki-moon's words are very pertinent, these were originally the cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union, and Li Lan naturally did not intend to abandon all international organizations, after all, Africa is so big, and a lot of assistance still needs the help of national organizations, otherwise he would not be able to bear it alone, and there is no need for that at all, and the responsibility is not on him alone.

"This is natural, and the AU still needs the attention of the international community and the help of various international organizations. I am also very willing to engage in close exchanges and cooperation with the United Nations in African affairs. At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude for the humanitarian assistance carried out by the United Nations in Africa over the years, because without international help, Africa would definitely not be starving, but full of corpses. ”

Li Lan also affirmed and thanked the efforts of the United Nations, and of course, behind this praise, there is naturally the following, "Of course, I also hope that in the coming time, the United Nations can continue to play a role and give more help to the people of Africa, and in this regard, Somalia will also fully cooperate with the United Nations." Provide all kinds of humanitarian assistance that needs it. ”

"I am very relieved that Somalia has a world to see. And my main purpose here today is to talk to you about the Ebola outbreak. Ban Ki-moon quickly got down to business, "As I set out, the United Nations Center for Disease Defense (CDC) had also completed a test of the Ebola control agent submitted by Somalia. They were all shocked by the medicine submitted by Somalia, and the effect was naturally beyond their original imagination.

That's why I changed my itinerary and immediately took the time to come to Somalia to discuss with you about the specific production of this drug and the future sales of this drug. ”

"The drug has already begun to be mass-produced, and it is enough for large-scale use in West African countries. As for sales, Ebola is no longer a matter for West African countries, but for the whole of Africa and even for all of humanity. In the spirit of mutual help among African countries, I have already met with the heads of state of West Africa face-to-face, and I will provide them with some of the medicines free of charge. Speaking of this, Li Lan gradually showed a look of embarrassment on her face, and said: "However, the production process of this medicine is very troublesome, and the production cost has also been raised to a very high level. ”

"I can understand this, but I sincerely hope that the Somali side can come up with some medicine, after all, the Ebola epidemic has spread to Europe and North America, so in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading around the world, I would like you to take a part of the production and sell it to the rest of the world."

This time, Ban Ki-moon did not continue to mention the price, but with a few requests, hoping that Li Lan would open the door to Western countries. That's what he's here for, and the situation in Somalia is now a complete blockade of the entire West, and in business, it's all about getting along with each other.

Li Lan's temper has also been understood among other countries, and in this case, the form of the epidemic cannot be delayed. Therefore, the only way to get Ban Ki-moon to come forward is to hope that Somalia can provide a certain amount of medicine for Western countries in this regard.

As for whether these countries really take it back for prevention or take it back for research, they all know it by heart, and they don't need to be put on the table.

And Li Lan naturally understands and knows the way of Western countries, but in the face of Ban Ki-moon's request, he did not refuse: "This is natural, as I just said, Ebola is not a matter of one country in Somalia, nor is it a matter of one nation." In the general righteousness of mankind, I naturally will not die without help. ”

Speaking of this, Ban Ki-moon was already smiling, but Li Lan's next words made the smile on his face somewhat solidified.

"However, according to the current production, in addition to supplying West Africa, which is the hardest-hit area, the remaining part will also need to meet the needs of Somalia for epidemic prevention and support for other countries close to West Africa. And before you, I had promised Russia and China, Iran and other countries to sell them part of the pharmaceutical line. The order schedule is very tight, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to supply to Europe and North America in time. ”

Li Lan's meaning is very simple, the medicine can be sold to Europe and the United States, but it must be under the premise of satisfying its use. (To be continued......)
