 Welcome to the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2018 here in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates where I'm joined in the studio this morning by Mr Cheh Sabli who is the director of the Telecommunications Sanitisation Bureau for ITU and has just been elected for another four years. Congratulations. Thank you very much. And thank you for joining us in the studio. Yes, my pleasure. I'd like to start off by talking about ITU itself and your perspective on it. You're obviously going to be at the head of the Telecommunications Sanitisation Bureau for the next four years. How do you think ITU should evolve to maintain relevance in today's world? Yeah, that is quite important. The subject as a key subject of this plenipotentiary. We may think of two different domains. One, I want to highlight the first one should be some areas or some communities who have not yet connected. So how we can help them to be connected? That is a big subject, a big mandate for ITU. So we have to strengthen all our efforts to support them. The other area is the use of this ICT connectivity. But this use of this connectivity, if we can provide better solutions, better knowledge, how to use of these ICTs, that would be very, very helpful because of our life is already connected. So how to use of this, correctly use of this ICT or our service and the devices is defined of this, our quality of our life. So that would be very important, the subject for us. And also we expect our connected life should be safe and trustworthy. We have a more, more case to lose of our trust, to use of our this advanced services. So how I do bring the make of these societies more trustworthy, bring those technologies, bring those policies is extremely important to subject. So those are key subject how I do keeping our relevance in the world. Let's talk about standardization and your continuing mandate as director of TSB. I wanted to ask you what do you think will be your top three priorities perhaps and how do you plan to achieve them? Yeah, Telecom, ICT, these services are organized and operated by the systems and the services which need some technical engagement. So one of the key role of this our standard development is we have to support this better quality of standard. How we can develop, collaborating with our members to develop better standard, bring the value to the market, to encourage our business, to encourage our society. That is the first priority. So I strongly expect our members working together to develop better, valuable standard. That's the first one. Second one is there are many of standard organizations. So ITU should be continuing our effort to improve our standard development process. We need a more efficient, effective process to meet of our members' requirements, specifically taking into account our time to market and the end users' requirements. This is an extremely important subject. So if we improve our process, that would be a very crucial point to meet of these requirements. That's the second point. The last one is now ICT is working in many, many areas. We call it convergence, but I want to say more than convergence. We are really using this ICT, all areas. So how we can adapt or improve our, how we can extend our membership to bring up new areas, new atmosphere, new subject, new application-wise it is. That is a third pillar of certain important areas. So for the next four years, I'll do my best to meet of these requirements. And some of your events are very much bringing together experts from all these fields. AI in particular, I see, is something that has certainly been evolving under your leadership. Yeah, that would be a very important subject. So even ICT itself, but as a key example is AI is influence all of areas. So how we can adapt of this AI, how we can use of this AI in good objectives. There's a tremendous influence over all of our societies. Let's talk about good objectives. This is the first plenipotentiary conference since the world adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. I wanted to ask you, how do you see ITU's unique role in accelerating progress towards the UN as Sustainable Development Goals? Yeah, so meeting of these STG goals is one of our, as a UN agency, this is very important responsibility of this ITU. So look at this STG, 17 goals. Most of those STG goals has a strong relevance of this use of ICTs. Let me say innovation by ICTs has a tremendous impact of this support of this Sustainable Development Goals. For example, if we can provide better connectivity to the world, specifically these unconnected communities, we may dramatically enhance our financial inclusions. Financial inclusion is a critical minimum requirement for those people. So this is one of the examples. And there are other cases like AI. If we can effectively adapt and correctly proper way adopted this AI, we have a very easily improve our health environment, educational environment. Also we have to enhance our protecting our environmental areas, ecosystems. All this is very critical. Those are key elements of this Sustainable Development Goals. So we have to continue to bring of this, our roles to meet of this Sustainable Development Goals. Finally, you're not the campaign trail anymore. You've been firmly elected as the director of TSB for the next four years. I wanted to ask you, have you got a message nevertheless that you'd like to impart to our audience here? Yeah, ITU is an international telecommunication union. But we are working on this to bring of this better solution, better atmosphere to use of this ICT to the global. But all even all these visions, without our members participation, without our citizens, without our people's engagement, it's impossible. So the participating from our members, our industries, your academia, ITU as a multi-stakeholder model, all stakeholders, then your participation, bring of your opinions, your subject as really energy for operating ITU. So I'm expecting we are working together to meet of this very important goals for the next four years. Well, we look forward to seeing the progress and catching up with you again in the future too. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
