 Experts, participants, partners, and our friends. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome you to this symposium on future network car. We're talking about a future network car. We're not talking about the virtual network car, but unfortunately we cannot meet together physically this year. Let me just begin by thanking our co-organizer, UNECE, our partners with UNECE is the key in making this possible. I'm pleased to welcome my colleague, Olga Agarjerova, UNECE Executive Secretary and Undersecret General of UN. I'm glad to welcome my dear friend, Jean-Paul, President of FIA and the UN Secret General's Special Invoy for Route Safety. I thank you for your longstanding support to this event and the unique perspective that you bring to our discussions. This year marks the 16th edition of this event. I've been pleased to see more and more intelligent transport entering our daily lives and more and more report on the testing of automated driving in cities around the world. We are not that far anymore. We are moving towards automated driving our same this year. Electrification has gathered significantly momentum and new business models are emerging, many of them pioneering new shared mode of transport. The automotive and ICT industries enter the many new market segments emerging at their intersection, find themselves in need of common platform for growth and innovation. In other words, common standards. International standards help us to deploy new technologies efficiently and as a scale. We are building new partnerships and we are reinforcing this partnership by working together in supporting standards efforts. That is why the IET membership now includes Volkswagen Group and Yongdae and a diverse range of other automotive industry players such as the Route DB, China's telematics industry application alliance, Continental, Bush, Blackberry, Tata Communications and Mitsubishi Electric. ITU standards provide for high quality and high security communication in the intelligent transport context. We also have two ITU Fox Groups leading pre-standardization studies of driving tests for artificial intelligence and the next generation vehicle in four turning environment systems. New technologies success in improving road safety we are depend on their success in gaining public trust. This week, we were discussed that technical, business and regulatory actions required to build this public trust including the new UNEC regulations on cybersecurity. UN regulations 155 and software updates UN regulations 156. Working in a partnership for more than 10 years, ITU and UNEC have built productive dialogue between our respective communities helping ITU to develop a technical standard in support of vehicle regulations. On Friday, we will host a meeting of the collaboration on ITS communication standards. All standards bodies relevant to intelligent transport will be represented. This open platform was conceived in 2011. But however, one TS concept already came to us in 1990s when I was councillor for CCI-TDIT study groups together with ISOIC, we talked about ITS. But this now continue to grow in importance. We all draw great strengths from this partnership-oriented initiative. They are essential in clarifying our respective rules in supporting emerging fields of innovation. We are looking towards 2030 and the achievement of the years of different course. Partnerships are growing in importance, working together, playing to our unique strengths. We can achieve breakthroughs capable of creating very meaningful improvements in the quality of life enjoyed by billions of people worldwide. We see extraordinary opportunities to achieve these breakthroughs in mobility. I thank you all for your resolve to make this happen. Let me conclude by thanking our symposium Stirling Committee and the moderators for arranging an excellent program as well as our generous sponsors, CroCom and Expert. Year after year, this event attracts an expert audience deeply invested in this discussion. It is a great pleasure to welcome you all and I wish you the most enjoyable event. Thank you.
