The discussion reports sceptical international reactions, without identifying particular governments or officials. Its explanation centres on commitments scheduled roughly ten years into the future. Delivering them would depend on the actions of later officeholders as well as the government making the announcement. A long-range intention would require continued responsibility for its execution across changes of minister.
