 Your Excellency, President Kagami, Sir Kosher Carlos-Sleem, Mr. Iain Bokova, Director General Secretary of UNESCO, and Dr. Hamdoon Trey, Secretary General of ITU. It's a great honor to be with you today, and after such a light video with total messages, I think I'll try to make my mark short, but it's a great honor to be with you today and to give this opportunity to address the Commission, the Broadband Commission for Digital Development. I understand how important this commission is for supporting the access and supporting young people access to broadband. With 1.8 billion young people in our planet today, this is the largest generation of young people the world has ever known. They face tremendous challenges, and we can simply not afford to fail the use of our world today. Secretary General of the United Nations has made working with and for young people, one of the top priority areas in his second term. With that, he made working with and for young people is the way forward for the United Nations. We believe that we need to increase the harmonization of our investments. We need to further coordinate our efforts to invest in this generation of young people, and we need also to increase investments in youth. One of the most important investments we can make is securing access to broadband at ICTs. As you have here from Secretary General, Dr. Trey, the Bayon 2015 Summit, which was organized by the government of Costa Rica, co-organized by ITU, gathered more than 700 young leaders from all over the world. It was an important event packed with activities, interaction, and thoughtful discussions. At the end of the summit, the participants agreed in their declaration. The declaration is a concrete and powerful statement, which includes both important elements for the post-2015 development agenda, as well as it captures some broader trends for youth and ICTs. In the word of the participants, I quote, all methods and system are poorly suited to transform our interconnected communities we live in today. The contributors correctly pointed out that youth can act as both beneficiaries and full partners for wider and improved access, with your support. Today, three quarters of our world and our young people around the world lack access to ICT. Three quarters, and if we don't fix this, we are wasting innovative potential in a massive scale. And San Jose, those present, identify that key to a new global development agenda is innovation. And whenever we talk about innovation at ICT, it's a natural correlation with young people today. Based on this, they called all member states of society and the private sector to foster innovation so that they can build the future they want. In order of urgency, young people gathering Costa Rican draw up a list of priorities. I will not go show all these lists as available online, but some of the most important ones include the following. Create open data information and technical knowledge in all areas critical to their lives. Provide the training and resources young people need to innovate and create businesses and industries of the future. Ensure new and innovative methods that lower barriers to youth employment and decent, rewarding and fulfilling work. Ensure that all students have access to ICT skills and technologies and that their intellectual, economic and political empowerment is secured. I'm grateful for the government of Costa Rica and for ITU and for your commission today for having supported and organized this global event. And I sincerely hope that in line with what young people gathered in Costa Rica have come up with, we will achieve the declaration not as an outcome document, but also as a starting point for continued dialogue. Otherwise, my one said, our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions. End of quote. And to arrive at a real solutions, we need to have conversations. Thanks to broadband access and modern ICTs, young people today who otherwise would be voiceless, will have a chance to make their voice here. It's our time for all of us to join forces to invest in this young generation of young people. And just with two numbers, I'll leave you to the first, half of the world population under 25 years old. And the second, this half of the world population, 87% of them are coming from developing countries. This is a call for action for all of us. I thank you very much for your support and commitment. Thank you.
