 So I think with the ingredient for, I hope, a very interesting session and without further ado, I hand over to my friend on the left. Please do the introduction. Thank you. Thank you, Patrick. Welcome to the UAE, first of all, and my name is Amar Algafri. I'm the head of the Space Engineering Department at MBRSC. In general, the UAE looks at space as an important and critical sector driving the bigger goal, which is science and technology here in the UAE. We started back in 2006, so in a very short, maybe 16, 17 years time frame, the goal of the UAE in the space sector was always to make the UAE a leading nation when it comes to space and space projects. We started with Earth observation satellites. We moved into space exploration missions, and then we had an astronaut program, and now we have a robotic system that will go to the moon. So tomorrow we have a launch. I hope people will be able to watch it. It's a very unique mission called the Rashid rover. It's a very small rover. Nevertheless, it has a lot of scientific implementation of instruments flying tomorrow and then hopefully reaching the surface of the moon within four months. So looking at this specific mission and then going back to the 60s when the US decided to land a man on the moon, that's how far space has gone and then that's how fast the UAE has gone with its own project. So the direction from the UAE and the UAE government is, let's make sure science and technology is the aim and the strategy behind this project, and then we added other elements to our strategy, which is economy. So we must have economical growth linked to space projects and space activities, and beyond that, let's ensure that the private sector is involved in our project. So as we go with our projects, we try to localize technologies that we eventually, I mean, typically we would buy from other international partners, but we will try to make sure that there are local private sector that is involved in our projects, that is investing in our projects, and as well as making sure that the economical growth of the space sector will shift from fully dependent on government funding and backing towards self-dependent with private sector being involved providing solutions that can find, let's say, the partnership between the government and the private sector. That's on the journey that we have taken so far. Of course along the way, and the beginning was focusing on the human capital. So we have to have engineers, we have to have scientists involved in these projects. It's easy to come and say we're going to buy a satellite, we're going to launch it, and then we'll have services or, let's say, applications on the ground. But this key focus on the capability of building the human capacity, human engineering skills and science, this is the focus that we wanted to make sure is implemented, and that's how the number of engineers and scientists involved in our space sector have grown rapidly in the past few years, so we move from 15 up to thousands now involved in our space projects, and that's what we want to focus on as we go forward. In general, you cannot do space projects alone, so we try to also, as one of the main pillars of our strategies, to ensure that international cooperation is key, and within the different geopolitical alliances that are there, the turbulence that are happening globally when it comes to economies or policies of international partners, we try to ensure that our focus is the clear science and space exploration, and that's what we do with our projects. So we started back in 2006 working with South Korea and then Russia for the launch, and then US for the launch, and then we found partners, very strong partnership with France in our existing projects, and then we expanded when we did our human space flight to Japan, Australia, and many other, and Canada, so many other international partners who are now involved in our projects, and we don't do that because we just want partnership. We want to make sure that one thing is we don't want to reinvent the wheels, so whatever has been achieved by others, we can benefit from it. The second thing is sometimes international cooperation is essential to make successful space programs globally, and that's what we want to stress on. So if we have an instrument that we can put on another mission that is launched by the US or by Europe, or vice versa, that's what we need in our global space community and space sector, I would say. Maybe I can conclude by saying that one of the directives that we want to do next is making sure the UAE is a hub where international partners can come in, where global players can come in and take the chance that the UAE has this, let's say, diverse, very accepting, as well as strategic thinking towards the future of space. We have a program called Mars 2117 where we hope in the year 2117 there will be a city on Mars, and that cannot be achieved without international cooperation, without enabling the youth, without making sure that whatever we do, we do it in a very transparent and very clear scheme. For example, in the UAE, we have a very clear project for space focused on the military and military application, and that's what our armed forces have done in the previous project, and we have a very clear, transparent, civil program where MBRRC and many other entities are involved. We have a very clear commercial space sector where Yasat and many other players are also involved in. So transparency and clearances is what we believe enables the UAE to have that very good relationship with all international partners around the world. Thank you for the welcome word and for setting the scene very clearly and notably the tensions between the public and the private agenda. That won't be an easy one.
