 Your Excellency, Prime Minister of Hungary, Ministers, Ambassadors, and my dear colleague, Mr. Francis Gehry, Director General of WIPU, dear colleagues, good morning. Welcome to ITU Telecom World 2019. It's a pleasure to be back in Hungary and Budapest four years after ITU Telecom World 2015. Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for your presence here today. It speaks to the importance that Hungary plays on the enduring relationship with ITU and the central role of information and communication technologies in the country's future. It was an honor to hold our telecom event here in 2015. We are delighted to have been invited again and to have you here to open this telecom 2019. I also want to take this opportunity to recognize WIPU Director General Francis Gehry. ITU and WIPU have a long and productive history of cooperation. I was pleased that our Director General of WIPU addressed our third AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva recently in May. And I'm grateful that he has taken time out of his very busy schedule to be here with us today. We at ITU are committed to bringing the benefits of the digital economy to everyone everywhere. Over the next four days, ITU Telecom World 2019 will provide governments, companies, investors, and others from around the world with a platform to create new businesses' opportunities in areas as diverse and promising as mobility, 5G, artificial intelligence, and smart cities to name a few. It's an opportunity for all of us to help harness technologies critical to economic growth and development. It is an opportunity for all of us to promote small and medium-sized enterprises. SMEs are on the front line of today's digital transformation. Their positive impact on innovation and job creation is unmatched. I'm pleased to see more and more SMEs engaging with our event. This time, more than 150 SMEs from over 40 countries are represented, recommended by their administration at this event. It all started here in Budapest four years ago at our Telecom World 2015, which was my first event as my new role as ITU Secretary General. Since then, SMEs have become one of ITU's priorities, so much so that our last preliminary potential conference here in Dubai last November decided to encourage the ITU to invite the SMEs to join ITU as SMEs members, of course, with reasonable, very low fee engagement. As I was told that no fee engagement, no resumabilities, no commitment. So ladies and gentlemen, ITU Telecom World 2019 comes at an important time. In just a few weeks, ITU member states will head to Shemai Shin in Egypt for ITU's World Radio Communication Conference 2019. On the agenda are key issues such as wireless broadband communications using new technologies, 5G, intelligent transport systems and networks for monitoring and predicting climate changes and low-Earth orbiting satellite networks and high-attitude platforms. A stack is the chance to transform and improve the lives of millions across the globe in support of the sustainable development goals and closing the digital divide. By meaning digital divide, we are aware of the challenges that no matter how hard we worked over the last decade, how wonderful we achieved the development of ICT everywhere, still today we have half population not connected online yet. And last night at very special dinner occasions, one of my colleague, the Vice Minister from Nigeria told me that the increased country still today 40 million population not connected with mobile phones. So this digital divide is reality. So we have to work hard with our partners to create a good environment to invest the connectivity infrastructure. So I put four eyes as one of the slogan for my priorities. Four eyes are infrastructure. We still have to upgrade infrastructure with new technologies, but we also have to extend our infrastructure to connect villages, to connect those not connected yet. And with this kind of challenge, we need investment. So we have to create a good atmosphere to invite good investment in ICT, both for technologies and extending the infrastructure to the poor area not connected yet. And then third eye is innovation. We need to have innovation to do the business. And the last one eye is inclusive. We should not leave anybody behind. So that is so called four eyes. I first highlighted two years ago at WTDC 2017 in Buenos Aires. I believe we can make a difference right here and now with ITU telecom world 2019. Today, Budapest is not only the capital of Hungary, but Budapest becomes the capital of the ICT world. I want to thank once again our hosts, Prime Minister Viktor Obann, the government and the people of Hungary and the city of Budapest. You have been strong supporters of ITU telecom world and ITU activities. And we look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead to continue building Hungary's digital future. Let me thank all the ministers, heads of telecom agencies, industrial leaders, SMEs and all participants who are here with us today. Together I'm confident we will be able to expand avenues for cooperation and ICT infrastructure investment, make ICT applications and services for relevant, secure and affordable and give people the tools and skills they need to navigate and succeed in the digital economy. Together we can and will bring about connectivity that matters. The theme of this year's event here in Hungary, the region and the rest of the world, I wish you a very successful and productive ITU telecom world 2019. Thank you very much.
