 Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and join me in welcoming His Excellency the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, together with His Excellency, Samdech Hunsen, the Prime Minister of Cambodia. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, Your Excellency, Bapa, President Jokowi, President of Indonesia, Your Excellency, Prime Minister of Cambodia, Samdech Hunsen, Your Excellency, Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, Wien Suan Phuk, and Your Excellency, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Arkady Dvokovych, ladies and gentlemen. In January, the World Economic Forum has been officially recognized as an international institution for public-private cooperation. This is a major contribution to our mission, committed to improving the state of the world. Because all of today's challenges, like our thrive for inclusive growth, like our fight for food security or environment protection, all these challenges can neither be solved by the private sector nor by the public sector alone. You always need public-private cooperation. And you are all our guests today in our East Asia Summit, under the theme, Anchoring Trust in East Asia's New Regionality. And ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome to all of you to our 24th East Asia Summit under this new theme, under these new statues, a warm welcome here in Jakarta. But what does it mean? Anchoring trust, new regionalism. Let me tell you a short story. I was born in 1973 in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. I lived the first month of my life in a Catholic orphanage. I was then adopted by a German couple as a little baby. And this couple gave me the chance of my life. I grew up in Germany. I went to school. I went to university. I became a physician. I then joined later politics. I was the five years federal minister. First federal minister for health, later for economics. At the same time, I was vice chancellor of the Federal Republic, so the deputy of Chancellor Angela Merkel. And I was the first federal minister with an immigrant background, with an Asian background, with an Asian face. So indeed, thanks to my parents, I got the chance of my life. And thanks to my country, Germany. But ladies and gentlemen, this is not a story about my parents. This is not a story about my country. This is a story about East Asia. Because in the last 40 years, since I left East Asia, the region has totally changed its face. Your father and your grandfather have created the great idea of the ASEAN community, which is becoming more and more reality. And look around you. We have so many fast-growing societies, fast-growing middle classes, and dynamic economic growth. Look, for example, into the impressive numbers of our host state, Indonesia. 860 billion GDP, 6% expected growth for this year. Rank 34 in our World Economic Competitiveness Report. And as interesting, an expected 70 million Facebook user by the end of the year. And we have similarly encouraging macroeconomic data in the entire region. A lot of achievements. But at the same time, we still have important questions to answer, such as, can we close faster the educational, the talent, the gender gap? How can companies and public institutions strengthen the ASEAN economic community? Can we build up fast enough infrastructure for the people? Can we leapfrog the health systems? What about the future of energy? A lot of questions due to a lot of transformations. But in the spirit of public-private cooperation, we can address all these challenges. Because you, as our today's guest, you are a real multi-stakeholder community. We have more than 700 participants today. And you all have one major thing in common. You're all leaders. Political leaders are our heads of state and government. We have 30 ministers. We have a lot of representatives of international institutions, organizations, and NGOs. We have more than 500 business leaders from all the industries, including our social entrepreneurs. We have leaders in academia, science, arts, 200 media leaders. And of course, we have also the next generation of leaders, the youth. And as leaders, you all know the three main pillars of leadership. First, you must have the courage to take decisions. Second, you must be competent to take the right decisions. And third, you must have the capability to motivate people to turn decisions into reality. And therefore, trust is decisive. Trust is key. Trust is critical. Trust is the glue, which holds a society as well a region together. Without trust, there is no motivation. Without motivation, there is no leadership. Without leadership, we will never overcome our challenges. But the good news today is that it's hard to imagine a more capable group than you to pose all these challenges too. You are leaders. You are trusted leaders. And we as a World Economic Forum, as trusted partner in transformation, we would like to offer to you this summit as a platform for real public-private cooperation in order to create trust, in order to create leadership, to lead East Asia into a better future. And finally, if we keep all the commitments, we will agree in this summit. Then one day, maybe in 10 years, someone else will welcome you then to the 34th East Asia Summit. And he, or maybe much better, she will then tell her story that she maybe was adopted from somewhere else in the world to East Asia, that she grew up in East Asia, that she went to school, went to university, and could make her career in business, politics, or both. To put it in a nutshell, that she as well got the chance of her life here in East Asia. And of course, it's not on us to define her way of life or any way of life, but to create a peaceful and prosperous region. That, ladies and gentlemen, that is the reason why we are here today. So again, a warm welcome to our East Asia Summit 2015. Thank you very much. And now it's my honor, my pleasure, to ask the Deputy Prime Minister Vokovic to make some welcome remarks to the plenary. Thank you, Philippa. President of the Republic of Indonesia, dear colleagues, participants of the forum. I am glad to be a guest of today's forum. And thank you for the opportunity to speak today before you. The Asian Pacific region of East Asia is today the main sources of global growth. And they will remain the same throughout the future. Today, there are 60% of the world's domestic product and almost 45% of the total volume of direct trans-border investments in the economic growth of the state is more than 5%. This determines the interest of the Russian participation as well as other large economies in the development of the Asian Pacific Pacific cooperation. And this interest is based on the traditions of harmonious development and hard-working people and striving for cooperation with partners all over the world. On the Asian Pacific region, one of the key long-term priorities of Russia is the expansion of cooperation with the ocean. As the old proverb says, you will not let go of one hand. We need to work together and learn from each other. We are primarily coming from the fact that Russia, as an Asian country, solves common problems, common questions of modernization and increasing the competitiveness of national economies, ensuring a stable development in the interests of increasing the quality of life of its people. For the last time, the ties between Russia and the Asian countries were significantly activated. Since the time of our first summit, the volume of trade has grown more than five times up to 21.5 billion dollars in 2014. The most interesting is the increase in the interaction in such areas as energy, science and technology, transport, agriculture. To achieve this goal, there is mutual desire and necessary mechanisms. We see a good perspective on the interaction with partners in the ocean, in the supply of natural gas, with the use of the North Sea. Russian helicopters and planes of civilian purpose, car production from the organization of assembly production, by creating satellite aviation systems, as well as joint enterprises for assembly of machine-building products. We are ready to connect to the development of the telecommunications infrastructure of the island state, as well as the creation of an automated control system with the use of GLONASS GPS technology. An important vector of foreign economic activity in Russia is the connection to the previous region with the integration process in the interests of the development of all countries, including our country, regions in the Far East and Siberia. We consider it useful to establish contacts between the European Economic Union, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the co-operation of the ocean, which will arise in the very near future. On the agenda, the first agreement on free trade between the European Union and the Republic of Vietnam. This is the first excellent experience. We are ready to sign this agreement. This is a good foundation for the further construction of better trade relations with the countries of the region. Our country has no common borders, but this is why the interaction in the creation of a common economic space for the free movement of goods and services is critically important. The interesting thing is the development of electronic trade. For this reason, we develop the necessary normative basis for this development of technology. As a result of the recent visits of the chairman of the Russian government, Dmitry Medvedev, in Vietnam and Thailand, once again confirmed the interaction of our interests in the regional direction, the arrangement of multi-plan co-operation and the need to implement specific projects in all areas, in all directions that I have already indicated. Our cooperation with Indonesia is actively developing in our current economic forum and meeting. The regular political dialogue between the president of Russia and Indonesia, including in the fields of various international forums, allows us to coordinate the approaches to the current global agenda issues as well as to promote economic coordination between our countries. Recently, the president of Russia, Putin, met with the president of Indonesia in November last year and was determined to develop a mutual aspiration for bilateral cooperation in broad range of issues. We have good work for this. My current meetings showed that we are ready to start specific projects. Finally, we are working together to counter the modern threat of the security of the world, such as terrorism, and the natural disaster of the situation. In recent years, Russia has launched several strategic projects in Indonesia, including the construction of railways, the creation of energy infrastructure, the construction of an aluminum unit and other interesting projects. We also welcome the growth of the investment of the OSEAN countries, including Indonesia, in the Russian economy. We are open to this, open to both investment and trade. One of the most interesting areas is agriculture, but of course we do not refuse to interact in the traditional areas, such as natural resources and energy. Finally, when our partners, including Singapore, were modernized by the transport infrastructure of the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, we are ready to continue this cooperation. We expect that all OSEAN countries will make an interest in cooperation with Russia and we are ready to move intensively in all these areas. In conclusion, our partners in East Asia differ in reliability and readiness for joint work regardless of the global political commitment. This is especially valuable. We agree on this, and that is why we are here. That is why we are open to the realization of any mutual projects, that is why we can call our relationship truly friendly and strategic. And this will certainly bring great benefit to our people. Thank you for your attention and hospitality. Thank you, Deputy Prime Minister Advokovic. And I would like to ask the Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam to announce all his speeches, his welcome remarks to the audience. To share with you some of the thoughts of the cooperation that will create a beautiful future for our eastern region in the new global scene. Dear President and all of you, cooperation and communication have increased in the region and it is necessary to move to the east and to the east direction. The 25th OSEAN Communist Party has opened a new period of development for our eastern region. We can say that we have never had the opportunity to cooperate and develop as much as we do now. But this time, the eastern region is facing many challenges. That is, many economies in the region are losing their growth, the strategic competition, the leadership competition, the environmental pollution, climate change, safety, the safety of the ocean, the air, all of them are challenging the stability and development of the region. Therefore, the eastern region in the new global scene of today's climate is very meaningful and compatible with the common concern of the eastern region. To be honest, after a crisis, the European economies are stronger, more powerful, with the intention and effort to reform. That is the reason why the eastern region is strengthening the supply, energy, management, development of the society, education, health, education, technology. This is the right direction for the reform of the country and the decision-making to develop a quite dynamic economy that is suitable and better for the new global scene. Therefore, there are more fights than the few international universities. On our part, Vietnam is trying to strengthen the economy of the city to strengthen the economy and to improve the development of the best investment market, to develop a economy that has a high economy, close to the social and economic level, with the environment. In other words, the opportunity to be strong is not only because of me, but also because of the important day in solving the general problem of the world. Each country is stronger when we share and support each other. Therefore, the deeper and more active is the way of developing economy and the region. As a result, the Asian community along with the cooperation of the countries in the region, Asia, Europe, and the two countries, the Pacific, and many others, will create a new opportunity and a new development for the East Asia and the other countries. In addition, there is a responsibility for the development of the Asian community. Vietnam has finally reached the end of cooperation with Korea, the United States, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and is actively promoting the cooperation of the Pacific and the other countries in the Pacific. There is also a responsibility for the development of the Asia and the other countries in the Pacific. Okay, thank you all. and the development of the whole region. Vietnam has always been strong with the countries and partners on the planet because of a red light. The path of East Asia has expanded and many challenges. In the future, the East Asia will continue to support the potential and challenges that we face with the changes in the world and the region. I hope that the East Asia Web Summit this year will bring many ideas about the rapid introduction and the development of the new East Asia Web Summit. I wish you all a happy and successful trip. Thank you, Deputy Prime Minister. Now it's my honor to ask the Prime Minister of Cambodia to make his speech to all participants. Thank you. I wish you all a happy and successful trip.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We are here this week to talk, to talk but more importantly to listen. I have asked my ministers to be very honest about our challenges. I have asked my ministers to listen. But I hope that after spending this week in Jakarta, you will also see our amazing opportunities. Please come and invest in Indonesia. If you have any problem, call me. Ladies and gentlemen, the world is in a fundamental transition. For us in Indonesia and for all emerging markets, the condition is suddenly very challenging. But where we see challenges, I see opportunity. In fact, our challenges are your opportunities. Your challenges, ladies and gentlemen. I have just written from an official visit to Tokyo and Beijing. And after many meetings with Presidency Jinping and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, I would like to share with you. I am extremely optimistic. I believe China and Japan today enjoy the best leadership they have had in a generation. And I believe this is to the great benefit of Asia as a whole. If there is one thing that Prime Minister Abe, Presidency, and I can agree on, it is that the world is changing very fast. China is changing. Japan is changing. And Indonesia is changing. I believe Indonesia has to change. Why do I believe Indonesia has to change? Because my people tell me, my people tell me that our country has to change. Every week and every month, I go into the villages. I go into the cities and my people ask me, Mr. Jokowi, please change our country. Within this global transition, our task is clear. We have to reinvent our economies. We have to reinvent our societies. Let me share with you a story. We have been here before in the 1970s. Indonesia became rich on export of crude oil. Crude oil was booming. Oil prices hit a record high. At the time, Indonesia was the only member of OPEC from Asia. Our Energy Minister, Subroto, was Secretary General OPEC. Then in 1980, the price crude oil crashed. By then, oil and gas exports were 80% of our total exports. We were forced to devalue our currency. We had an economic crisis. But with crisis came opportunity. Again, with crisis came opportunity. After the 1980 oil prices crashed, Indonesia began to industrialize. Over the next 15 years, we built up textile and garment industry, furniture industry, pub and paper industry, palm oil industries, chemical industries. By 1995, oil and gas exports were only 30% of our total exports. Exports of goods and services were 70%. Today, we are in the same situation. Commodity prices have crashed. Our currency has been hit. This is causing a lot of pain for a lot of people. But let me tell you, we have done it before. And we shall do it again. Our commodity reaches meet us over consumptive. We neglected our human resources. Our currency, the rupiah, has been shaken. Today, we must shift from consumption to back to production. From consumption to investment. Investment in our infrastructure. Investment in our industry. But most importantly, investment in our human capital. The most precious resource of the 21st century, change can be painful. Change will create winners and losers. But there can be no progress without change. There can be no gain without pain. Even with the pain, my people tell me every week and every month. Please, Mr. Jokowi, change our country. Our people are very wise. They recognize that to help progress, there must be sacrifice. Fortunately, history is on our side. I would even say God is on our side. After the 1997 Asian financial crisis, a lot of people around the world asked, Will Indonesia survive? Today, almost 20 years later, we are a vibrant and stable democracy. Our unity in diversity, what we call Bineka Tunggal Ika, is stronger than ever. We have become the fifth largest economy in Asia. And a key member of the G20. The Indonesia people are wise. They are resourceful. And therefore, I'm here to tell you, with 100% confidence, Indonesia will prevail. Again, 100% confidence, Indonesia will prevail. When you spend time with Indonesia, especially on Facebook and Twitter, you will find our people have incredible humor. Our people have incredible courage. Our people have incredible wisdom. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I stand here today to invite you to join me and my people on an incredible journey, on an incredible adventure, and to make incredible profits. If you have any problem, call me, call me. Thank you, thank you.
