Very much and good afternoon and thanks very much to you all for being here. It's a great honour to welcome the Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, or UNIDO, as you'll be hearing a lot about over the course of the next while, Mr Lee Young to Dublin. I would like to thank the IIEA for hosting this event today. Ireland has been a member of UNIDO since 1980 and our engagement is led through our mission to the UN in Vienna. As I'm sure you all know, Ireland has recently launched a new international development policy, A Better World, and it is partly in that context that Director-General Lee is here on this visit and we've had a number of very interesting conversations already today about how UNIDO's platform and ideas and plans for the future link in with what the government is planning to do over the next number of years. So maybe I'll just say a couple of words about that new policy to set a context. That new policy sets out our vision for Ireland's contribution to international development looking ahead to 2030. It's a clear statement of Ireland's commitment to global citizenship, to helping make our world a better place to live for others and indeed for ourselves. It focuses on the sustainable development goals and reaching the furthest behind first wherever they may be in a least-developed country and UNIDO works with a lot of least-developed countries particularly on the continent of Africa, whether on a small island state vulnerable to climate change or individual victims of conflict or humanitarian crisis. A Better World builds on Ireland's strength as a development partner and the strong international reputation we've maintained since the establishment of our official development programme. It's a bold statement of what Ireland will do to contribute to a more peaceful equal and sustainable world in response to the underlying message of the sustainable development goals as we said to leave no one behind. It commits Ireland to scaling up resources and capacity across four policy priorities, gender equality, reducing humanitarian need, climate action and strengthening governance in development countries. It's a whole of government policy and commits us to intensifying our contribution to development cooperation but also changing how we work both bilaterally and multilaterally and since I am the director in charge of UN and international financial institutions I'm particularly interested to hear what the director general has to say today because I think for a country like Ireland our commitment to multilateralism in both political terms and in policy terms has to be carried through by walking the walk as well as talking the talk and we understand as well I think as a small country that it is only through partnership and collective action that we can really make changes in the world. I'll now hand you over to our distinguished speaker who will discuss amongst other things I know you need those mission of inclusive and sustainable industrial development and its alignment to Ireland's international development policy. Thank you very much. Thank you very much Sarah and thank you very much all the participants. I just would like to thank Institute of International and the European Affairs for hosting this event as part of the Development Day series of lectures. I particularly appreciate Mr Tom Arnold for his far very kind introduction and also the hosting this event for me. I also am very happy that Donna Butler and also Dan O'Brien also here join us. I noticed the lady, the councillor Madame Shiuming from Chinese Embassy. I very much appreciated all your participation. Today I just would like to report to you and share with you some of the operation strategy of United Nations Industrial Development Organization. There's only one organization solely focused on the industrial development among more than 80 UN agencies. I'm honoured to be here today in Dublin to enjoy the sightseeing and also important meeting today with Minister Danon also Mrs Julie Cinnamon, public, private and now academia. I'm especially glad to be here soon after Irish government has published a better world. This document you all know is ambitious and a well thought of the vision what Ireland wants to achieve for the people who are most in need in the developing world and the priorities laid out in the policy also reflect the best of modern development thinking by addressing the most pressing issues, particular gender equality, climate action and while reducing humanitarian and also strengthening the governance continue to play the prominent role and these are issues which are almost central to how UNIDO implements its mandate which is inclusive and sustainable industrial development. This is a little bit different compared with what we've done 50 years ago industrial development because a powerful two words inclusiveness and sustainability is very very important which now we appreciate the international support become the SDG goal nine out of 17 goals it's a goal nine inclusive sustainable industrial station infrastructure innovation and we are very happy now we go ahead with this important mandate UNIDO and Ireland have a deep history of a successful and very impactful cooperation almost 40 years ago friends colleagues UNIDO organized a training program on the free industrial zone for a Chinese delegation a Shannon free zone country county Claire and this group included that Mr Johnson mean at the time as a senior vice minister level official and in charge of the state import export and nutrition who would later rise rise to be the president of China and the lessons that this group brought back to China were invaluable and contribute to greatly to the economic boom that followed for China and that was a year in 1980 and UNIDO's work over the past four decades can be traced in the direct line from the Shannon to our modern flagship programs which has called the program for country partnership because we know the mandate we know the SDG goal nine but we need to operationalize it this is the most critical for us but how to do it based on the traditional way of doing business not possible because individual projects and I visited so many countries in Africa but all the meetings are listened those leaders prime ministers they ask a digi Lee please help us to develop industry we would like to have an industrialization very few friends colleagues please give us one project two project no time changed because they look at the industrialization they look at the most useful way to lead a country for poverty reduction job creation this is what we learn but how to do it we need to be little bit more innovative and we thought japan gone through the republic career gone through the tiger dragon gone through the manufacturing they learned from the Shannon special economic zones but why not you need to move ahead with support for industrial strategy let the country move ahead with industrial strategy covered the whole industrial sector and which has one important component of the three sectors agriculture industry service that's an economic term and so we look around the country and the better and then finally we find out we should develop a kind of operation we call it partnership for country program for country partnership and we help the government to develop a strategy in line with their national priorities and work together with wall bank with regional development banks and to support industrial strategies for example like Ethiopia we look at a country situation they focus in agriculture because it's agorory the most least developed country agorory and they mentioned the agor processing leather and textile so we started with three pillars three areas and i'm very happy government support that wall bank support that african development bank support that we reached again now after three and a half years they would like to expand this coverage and they would like to add chemistry light industry pharmaceuticals so they expand the coverage of their because their capacity their their vision increased expanded so this is a kind of program we are applying in seven country in africa no uh senegal, Ethiopia plus Morocco plus Egypt called Devar and then Zambia Rwanda and there are 13 countries applying for these programs i'm very happy in Asia Cambodia and in uh Lakeraging Peru and also Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan and the more countries also would like to have and why i introduce this uh pcp to you because uh i think this is a useful way starting work with the top government leaders commitment to industrialization to industrial development in the country line ministries can work together i'm used to to be a government official ministry of finance i understand if two ministry can work together it's good difficult and the three ministry work together it's a big big challenge four ministry daunting task maybe yeah but now we moved how many ministry working together 11 or 12 ministries in Ethiopia they work together in Peru five ministry working together because what start from the president prime minister then the line ministries and the one leading ministry ministry industrial trade take the lead then they can implement that very co-ordinately we have a donor coordination committee and donors being brought together to let them know what's pcp what's a specific area and resources will be contributing more closely to the target national priority so i'm very happy uh this uh be moved very smoothly and also for africa intratrasatio i really would like to mention that why always mention africa intratrasatio i used to be economist i used to be cpa certified public account working the government to work a bilateral donor and but now we talk about 2030 development general i talked to the cb meeting sector general i said if the 2030 development agenda 15 years we would like to achieve that africa must be put on the top agenda why 47 least developed country 36 of them located in africa if the 36th country cannot move up change transform from the bottom line of industrial level upward and the new industrial revolution coming the country talking about industrial 4.0 artificial intelligence but this group of countries still struggling with basic industry what will be the result this is my thinking it's not a complicated paper it's a simple react simple fact so we scale up operation i thanks to the international efforts g20 2016 put africa intratrasatio least developing intratrasatio as a regular agenda we tasked to prepare the report for g20 and after g20 and 2016 the u n general assembly adopted resolution third industrial development decade for africa this resolution drafted by unido together with the african union commissioning african development bank and adopted adopted by general assembly unanimously paletto japan ticket and for so many years china focat and the india you know india just completed the new around of the cooperation between them for africa intratrasatio and donor community you see germany italy nordic country and many e us one of the largest regional donor support you need all to support africa intratrasatio they have an african development day they have an industrial day every year so i think that this is a time for us to think about that how to support africa intratrasatio but what are we are doing is also i appreciate just now the tom you asked me how we worked with them with the government side and maybe we helped them to develop a conducive environment for fd i coming investment law is how to streamline the process to prepare the conducive environment sounding environment for invest investors fd i coming and also we worked together with war bank those are big big financial and most importantly fd i private company private sector so we established a very close relationship with those association of industry every country i visit one item as a private sector must be there so i'm very happy you need all implements wide range of the project promoting economic development but industry is a focus because we understand lots of sdg goals here that i fudr y ffarmddor hwn ni'n cael ei alw y gradduredd y gallwn holl oeddestllol ardur o'r ffrindio ac

Of course, she would like to develop skill and moving up with more income, but if there's no economic development, friends, there's no opportunity provided for them, women empowerment may not be so factual. This is what UNIDO is doing and the environment. We talk about climate change, global public goods. It is so important, but UNIDO programme, we call it resource efficient and cleaner production programme, is a central element in our work and eco-industrial park we implement. One part is not only just green, is energy efficiency, resource efficiency. This is a package. When we apply that package, companies saving money from different part, I visit V9 during a global environment facility council, council meeting, assembly meeting. Prime Minister of V9 met with me, talk to DJ Leon, you're eco-industrial power in V9. Very good. We would like to have second phase. This is a trust. This is encouragement. And the leader mentioned this. It's not individual talk to us. So this is not only one case, two cases, many cases. So we are very happy that now Switzerland, the president of Switzerland came to our 50 years anniversary celebration. She brought a big check. 60 million Swiss francs support quality infrastructure. Later on, she supported the eco-industrial park with 12 million Swiss francs once again. This is a trust. They believe this kind of operation UNIDO implement or benefit the country to create mutual trade, not a one-way trade. And also important for them to meet the challenge of the global public goods climate change. And I am very, very happy to report to you. We improve the resource productivity environment to performance in 63 developing countries. And economists in transition targeting government civil society in business with a particular focus on SME. And the program applies preventive environmental strategies to processes, products and services to increase efficiency and reduce the risk to the communities and for the purpose of protect the environment. UNIDO is currently implementing over 400 projects, which directly contribute to achieving the target goals set by both the Paris agreement and 2030 agenda for sustainable development. These range from the UNIDO, Jeff global clean tech innovation program also supports a medium sized enterprises entrepreneurs in developing innovative climate clean energy solutions as a profitable business models and make this business profitable and it has big potential. You cannot expecting donor community to contribute the money once and once again and we need some of the potentials, viability of the business. So I think I need to cut it short because too many information. In 2017 alone UNIDO's efforts have to avoid over 155,000 tons of CO2 emissions, which has equivalent around 30,000 passenger cars driving for one year. UNIDO's committed to enabling the paradigm shift in industrialization in developing countries as a means to build low emission climate resilient society because people usually will have a kind of perception. For these developed countries, maybe they just argued about the industrial development manufacturing and the environment to protect side. But look at Ethiopia, when we developed industrial park, we said, okay, meet the international standard. They said, no, we would like to have zero emission industrial park. It's shocked me. I think it's out of my knowledge. We need to talk to Denmark and zero emission cities, villages. But they really look at that. The Morocco case I talked to, they look at the new industrial revolution. They're not like every procession, low level. So we also would like to say the stock home convention, Montreal Protocol, those global treaties protect human health and the environment from the persistent organic pollutants, POP, you may know. But we are implementing that project 23 years. We are implementing the Jeff project close to 20 years since its inception. We are ranked top implementing agency. Montreal Protocol, we received the award. Only six implementing countries and the agency received this honor because all the project we implemented in 25 countries meet the standards before the deadline. Six of them, only one agency, as you need all, five countries. So I think we are focusing on those important area, women empowerment, environment protection, SME development, and also based on the international development, economic development. As long being recognized by Ireland in no small part due to its own historical experience and is reflected in the better world, many developing countries, economies in transition, particularly those with large rural community suffering from inadequate access of food and lack of employment. The problems as they come in compounded by the dependence on outdated, inefficient technology leading to poor productivity and a slow economic growth. Agro based industrial products among account for half of all export for developing countries, yet only 30% of those exports involve the process goods compared to a figure of 98% in the developing world. That is comparison. Visit Ghana, visit Côte d'Ivoire, they have a strong agro processing. Visit Ghana they said they have a food processing, actually a food drying process. They have mongols, pineapple, banana, pipe beer and such a big harvest, but people cannot consume there. Rotten on the roadside, but they build some of the processing company. I visit two of them, one of two, top level food processing company and when I visit there you see to my surprise I was not very happy feeling because people holding the pineapple use a knife to peel the skin. Very skillful, very quick, but very sorry to say we could have a little bit more advanced equipment in replacement. Lots of pineapples being threw away because those are a little bit too ripe and lots of waste and the people carrying big container was moving. That one of top two food processing company in the country. What we can do is not millions of money, maybe we add some of the little bit of contribution, they will really pick up the problem. I asked how many supplies from endless, endless. So that is Ghana, friends, Ghana is what kind of status in Africa. Middle income country, middle income country. So it's a painful feeling for me to say that now Ghana applying for PCP, the president on the benefit to Harvard and to Malta, he instructed vice president to talk to me to let Ghana into PCP. President mentioned his slogans of one district, one factory. When I visited Japan, Japan said yes, that's a good idea. We have one village, one product, one village, one product. So this is the kind of vision we try to have in that transition. We also are now moving ahead with some of the support to coordinate with international development agencies and implementing IDDA3, third industrial development decade for Africa. In terms of specific actions in Africa, you need those pursuing wider range of projects, programs, cross agency initiatives through the region to promote ISID, SDG go 9, the best way to address many of the challenges facing by the continent including PCPs we already mentioned that. And I believe that it is clear from the examples I just mentioned, those countries really moving up with job creation. And when we have a kind of task to do job creation, people will appreciate you create 20 jobs and then you create 100 jobs. And what we create job is millions, thousands of millions of jobs because look at the industrial park. In Ethiopia, how many industrial parks? They designed 70 industrial parks in the country. And one industrial park in Havasah. Havasah is a southern part of poor region. This industrial park completed within nine months, less than one year. And also this industrial park in the fourth swing, 90,000 job created. There's only one industrial park. But now they're different. But how many countries try to move ahead with this kind of? Egypt, they would like to seek guidance support from UNIDO to develop, Suez Canal, Special Economic Zone, 492 square kilometres big. And Côte d'Ivare, Morocco is full. And quite a number of countries. So what we can create for jobs is a big, big number. And if we can move ahead. So I'm very happy, look at the future of the industrial development, fourth industrial revolution as opportunity and challenge. But we actually look at those countries. And UNIDO is implementing this process. And we connected to Hanover-Masai. Five years in a row we visited Hanover-Masai. I tried to get a connection with our member state. We agreed, we signed an agreement with Hanover-Masai that next year we will hosting jointly with Hanover-Masai UAE government, UNIDO, for global manufacturing inter-translation summit. We invite all the member states, ministerial industry and trade coming to the event and together connected to the private companies in Masai. And this is 70 years happened. Chairman Kukla told me, never happened before. But this will be a big event. Because second is our project really connected to the new industrial revolution. For instance, one example is Kenya geothermal project financed by Japanese government. And this project connected to IOT. Their management operation will be connected to the cloud computing and support the operation management. Kenya is a country ranked number eight for geothermal resources. Number one in utilization of geothermal resources in the world. So this kind of connection to the new industrial revolution technology is very useful. Thirdly, we try to prepare lots of activities. Invite Siemens, invite Alibaba introducing the digitalization, introducing e-commerce to all member countries. So I'm very happy that we've received lots of support from those companies. They really become our partner. I introduced that one of the example, Heinegen. I talked to Sarah that why Heinegen would like to work with us. Because the beer distribution line 172 in the world. But now they would like to go to Africa. But two things fundamental. One is water. 95% of beer water. And they should have a conservation of the water. And what's treatment of water? Second is energy. Without energy, you drink warm beer. I don't think people like that. So they become our partner. So this is a kind of important signal that privacy is our important partner. We need to work together with them. So I really would like to mention two meetings this morning. Give me very big encouragement. Serving all member states is our responsibility. But how to is a big question mark. I talked to Julia Cinnamon. And we have exchanged. And we decided to organize a kind of event to connect it to the enterprises here in Ireland. And to understand more situation about the UNIDO procurement as well. And Africa business environment number two. And I had a meeting with Minister Cameron. And he told me he really would like to support this. And John, some of the important event of UNIDO and also try to support the private sector. And so this is what we actually be encouraged. And this evening I'm going to Shannon. Of course I would like to bring the Shannon to international conference on industrial park in LAC region. It's an international one. I would like to invite Sun Zheng, one of the special economic zone after the Chinese leader visits Shannon and to join this international event. And because I still believe that this is relevant. So tomorrow I'm going to Shannon Freezone and see for myself to meet with some of the genius and famous people. First time they met with Chinese delegation. Later on they received, this gentleman received Chinese leader. And this time maybe they receive a group of people from UNIDO. UNIDO, industrial development organisation. And which will be very, very important for us. So of course I really would like to mention that we really need to look at what we can do before everything's too late. It's a world we called from Ireland. I learned a better world. But it didn't need efforts, need a partnership, need to work together with the international community. And I appreciate today's seminar or forum. It gave me such a long time for me to talk to you, share with you what we are done, what we are going to do, and what we are going to do in particular in this country. So thank you very much.
