 Mr. Chairman, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a great pleasure to be here and I would like to start with the expression the Azerbaijan government's congratulations and appreciations to the ITU and the government of the United Arab Emirates for such a nice organization and hosting us again at this beautiful city Dubai. I wish the conference great success and I thank you for this opportunity to speak and to share more awareness about Azerbaijan and as the country is nominated for the next ITU Council membership from the region C. Azerbaijan joined the ITU in 1992 and has since been fully committed to the values of the union. For the last couple of years, the country hosted several regional and global levels of the ITU thematic events and IGF in 2012 and also increased the amount of the financial contribution to the budget of the ITU. These days Azerbaijan is represented in the TDAC and ITUT Steider Group 2nd and the candidate is nominated for the new composition of the RRB. Being a Council member, we look forward to involving more resources and to add the more values to further growth and strengthening the union. Azerbaijan essential helps the ITU secretariat with striving to drive the broadband deployment across the world and is strongly involved in the activity of the UN Broadband Commission for Digital Development. The government of Azerbaijan has initiated the platform for improving connectivity in Eurasia and the ITU is one of the partners of the project. Digital switchover of the Terrestrial Television Broadcasting have already been completed to cover the whole territory of the country and Azerbaijan is ahead of time meeting the 2015 ITU deadline. The first telecom satellite was successfully launched last year covering Europe as well as significant part of Asia and Africa in the transmission of TV radio broadcasting and the Internet connectivity for emerging markets. Connecting schools is a priority task for the development of educational system. So more than 50% of schools are connected with broadband access and 70% of teachers are trained with basic IT skills. About 60% of public services are now online. Azerbaijan is supporting the ITU initiatives on cybersecurity and child online protection and last December we hosted an international conference in Baku with kind support of the ITU. Emergency and public safety communications are becoming very critical these days and our aim is to have Internet and cellular communications affordable in all the remote areas. The government now invest about a half a billion dollars to the development of the broadband infrastructure which has to reach out to every single home across the country. We stand for the deepening and expansion of the multilateral international collaboration and the ITU is indisputably valuable platform to benefit, to learn and to share of the most of the administration and businesses in this room. I thank you for your attention and wish all success conference. Thank you.
