 and I want to share some of our accomplishments. And it's a real honour for us to be associated with this conference because we see many of the similar ideas and themes around the search, around the value of research, engagement and around the wonderful theme of the conference, transformation of lives and transformation of societies. Bienvenue, welcome. Bienvenidas, Benvinda and Juan Yang. A warm welcome to all of you from at least 80 countries in the continent, six continents. Fantastic turnout. Thank you. Now that we are on a first name basis, I feel very comfortable sharing intimate details of my life with you as I'm finished.
