 francophonie et de montrer que le français est aussi long de parler. We will, of course, it was the fourth edition of your club. This is your club. We started back in 2016 in Paris, this initiative with Ambassador Hussain, and with the support of Philippe Valle from La Poste. Then we went in Moscow. It was in 2017, Istanbul last year, and this year here in Amsterdam. We are happy, and I was happy to witness when our friend, the CEO of Fiji, talked to his colleague, directly to his colleague of Egypt. This was our goal at the beginning because when we took office with Ambassador Hussain it was clear that the CEOs were not talking together. And the primary role of the Universal Postal Union is to manage networks. We have intergovernmental agency to run, of course, but you CEOs are the one doing the economy. So it was clear for us that something was missing, so the club was created. That was the target at the beginning that this initiative after a couple of years will be stable. And we saw last week how important it is to have networks. We, Director-General Ambassador Hussain, recall this morning what happened in Geneva. Without the network, you cannot realize this. And it was, of course, a long, long story for us to come from the announcement of the US withdrawing the UPU the last 17 of October last year up to this memorable moment where we put together all the economies, especially the US and the Chinese economy. In the press conference, Peter Navarro talked about the role of the UPU in trading. And this is something we have also to share with you because you are the one doing the business. So we have the pleasure to set up this next week, next Monday. This aging UPU will celebrate 145 years next Monday in Bern. But in fact we have started the new UPU for the young. As I told you last week, we have done this and now it is clear and it was recalled by the CEO of UNPOST. The need for reform is more than ever a top priority of the UPU. Today you have demonstrated the role of your company in adding value to our economies, to our societies and for the cities and of this planet. Of course, we need to adapt ourselves to business demographic or climatic changes. We will do so. We will survive. The postal sector will survive. The UPU will survive. Nevertheless, we need to move in a strategic way in order to anticipate trends. Our exchange on the blockchain phenomenon was interesting and of course opens spaces for new models. Next week we will unveil the results of the two IPD called Integrated Index for Postal Development. One key tool for our reflection because intending to help you understand better the positioning of your company in the global picture. Mentioning the two IPD brings us to the new draft Abidjan Postal Strategy. I am talking under the control of the new and the future chairman of the congress, my friend Isaac. With the three main goals objective for the UPU for the next cycle to be a forum and we are here as a forum to set up product and services and to play a role in the knowledge management. We are on the right track. When UPU together and UPU as one and with your leadership and your ambition we need to continue, as I told you, the reform. Our director general, Ambassador Rissell, anticipated this morning and again it was underlined some minutes ago. The sad part of the story for me was Ambassador Rissell giving me this morning my new task, an integrated UPU open organization. I was given seven rules to open this organization to make sure that we have a stable business financing model. The quorum is still one problem. The provident scheme, we need to find a solution for it. He gave me also other type of objective to make sure that at the end of the day also our poor members. So the one with long term depth to the UPU will have a solution. So the idea is bringing everybody on board without depth. This could be a challenge for all of us. I don't want to list all of them but mainly, again, the opening of the UPU, the financing model of the UPU, the provident scheme, the depth, the long term depth are the ones we need to find a way. And of course to deliver better in this new economy. We will try to deliver this before the end of the mandate which means we need to run and to rush because the next congress will start tens of August in Abidjan. We need of course your strong leadership and your strong support. The lesson learned of last week was if you have to set up reform you need to avoid experts. You need to go with people who have the decision making power to do so. At the end of the day the question was resolved by the United States from the Trump team and not anybody else. So we need to have this in mind. You are all leaders, you are all CEOs. You understand that at a certain point in time we need your leadership to drive also our priorities. So it is necessary now for us to go back to do our homework to present this into weeks time. More important maybe in February during the last session before congress and then to come to congress with solid reform agenda so that we can before the end of the cycle and before giving back this plane to a new crew deliver a clean sheet. Let's me conclude by recognizing all the people who helped us in this particular day. I want first to recall the CEOs who were with us Ivan Kulo from creation post. Ismail Kosei from the Turkish post the CEO of technology subsidiary and Mr. Al-Saghia from Egypt who was eloquent in the first blockchain topic. The second session was with the following speaker Asta Sugerin from Lithuania Post sorry for spelling the name Lidivine Pele from South Africa Alexander Pestovsky from Ukraine Post and last but not least Debussy Abui the CEO of Nigerian Post and the last panel Cornelius from the Botswana Post Gerardo from Peru Mr. David Remont and Post and Banan my friend from Djibouti I want also to recognize the facilitator and explaining the topic Moses Ma and Christian Yac last but not least I need to recognize Paul Niedman who opened this forum in the conversation with my CEO the Ambassador is saying and of course my friend Derek Osborne a long story between us you are a part of Royal Mail doing human resources I want to recognize my team David and the team Giselle and Olina which have done a very good job to set up the conditions of this meeting and please if you are missing one thing is my responsibility the idea for me and the director general again is to finish with the reform agenda so in the next years the UPU will be on the safe side of the story but before that we need to drive the last part of this reform and director general you can count of my full support for that the crew is completed fasten your seat belt we will land in Abidjan safely Thank you
