Johannesburg, August (GYRP) – How many delegates make a delegation? In the case of the United States, it seems to be a state secret.

A U.S spokesman declined to confirm or deny rumours that there are 300 American delegates in Johannesburg for the World Summit on Sustainable Development.

Dodging repeated questions, he said: “We aren’t giving out the exact numbers. Let’s just say that we are bringing the right number to do the job.”
