 We're absolutely delighted to be able to showcase contemporary Mexican design with, as they say, a vision towards the future tonight. We're all very familiar with so many aspects of Mexican culture, as well as Mexican industry and commerce. We're not so familiar with this new generation of Mexican designers, and it's quite an extraordinary generation. For me, it's a privilege to be able to show you the evolution of Mexican design, highlighting the color and the joy that characterizes us as Mexicans. It's easy to associate Mexico with its rich tradition of local art. However, today in Mexico is also a growing market for design and architecture. We're convinced that Mexican design is of vital importance, both for our culture and for our economy, because it's an important element in the creation and continuity of our national identity. And, on the other hand, the culture as an economic sector maximizes benefits in terms of generation of value, employment, and remuneration of work. My country provides a high priority on the protection of the rights of intellectual property, because it's a tool that covers the preservation of our cultural wealth and its traditions, as well as to boost the creativity and innovation capacity of Mexicans. All of this in favor of our development.
