 We're here at ITU Telecom World 2016 in Bangkok, Thailand, and I'm very pleased to be joined in the studio today by Dr Hiroshi Kumagai, who is the Director General of Resilient ICT Research Center for the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies or NICT. Dr Kumagai, thank you very much for being with us in the studio today. Thank you very much. Now, I'd like to start off by asking you, how is Japan using ICTs in environmental protection and disaster recovery? OK, ICT is a very essential element in monitoring, sensing the environment, and the data can be used for the protection of the environment. And in the disaster cases, also the monitoring and collecting information is very important. And other than that, the rescue and recovery system is very important for the disaster recovery phases. We in Japan experienced a very heavy earthquake and tsunami March 2011, and at that time we experienced many failure of the communication system, and very wider areas, the communication network didn't work well. So at that time, the system is not resilient enough for the big disaster. So lessons learned in that earthquake. We started new resident ICT research activities in Sendai. And this event, we demonstrated the two systems of recently we developed to cope with the disaster recovery system. One is a wireless network, other systems can be deployed very quickly and very easily. The other is optical fiber, very quick recovery to revive the optical fiber system. That toolkit, we demonstrated two systems. And important point is, this system not only used for the disaster cases, but also can be used for the daily regular-based systems, and particularly the wireless network system is very quickly set up and quickly operated. So that can be used for the rural, such as the rural areas of Asian countries and to help improve the digital divide issues. So we are working and collaborating in these areas also. I also wanted to ask you, what is NICT's role in delivering a safe and affluent society for all? OK, NICT's main mission is to develop, to do the R&D of new ICT system, and also implement the system into the society. So we are doing, NICT is doing very widely areas of ICT development activities, from the very lower-layer system development to the application systems. And in this mission, one of the important elements is the system used to realize the safe and resilient affluent society. So that is our activities right now, and we are demonstrating in this event. How important do you think it is to work with partners in the digital economy? Yes, we are very much pleased to work together with partners for this digital economy or the digital divide issue to solve it. We are looking for the collaboration, and I hope our system, our application can help improve the digital divide issues and also accelerate the digital economy. And finally, we are here at ITU Telecom World 2016, an event that is very important in ITU's calendar. It's also obviously important to Japan, because Japan has got a great pavilion here. So I just wanted to find out for you, what is the value of attending events such as this? Yes, Japan has been a long time supporting and collaborating with ITU event, and we also cooperate with this exhibition, and we are very much pleased to work with ITU and to find potential partners for making a collaboration, especially in the social benefits. Thank you very much indeed for being with us in the studio this morning, and we wish you the very best of luck. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Arigato gozaimasu.
