 I would like to thank the host, Romania, for the excellent arrangement. The Laopidia is of the view that this PP-22 is very timely, with the theme Connect and Unite. As we are living in an unprecedented world of COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and J-O political tension, therefore, ITU mandate and role can contribute immensely to these solutions. Mr. Chairman, despite the challenges posed by being at least developed countries, coupled with landlocked and mountainous landscapes, up to date, the Laopidia is progressing well in implementing UNSDG No. 9C, including to manage well both digital infrastructure and human resources development in digital. Mr. Chairman, on the way forward, I would like to share the Laopidia's priorities as follows. One, we ask for further support and cooperation to implement our digital economy development plan 2021-2025, namely digital infrastructure to meet the targets of 3G coverage of 100%, 4G 90%, and 5G 50% by 2025, and to enable our MES to be able to do e-businesses to leverage their competitiveness and productivity. Two, is the Laopidia is embarking on turning the country from a landlocked to a landlinked. We look forward to working closely with ITU and other donors bilaterally and multilaterally to have ICT solutions in international border checkpoint management to facilitate trade, investment, logistics, and people-to-people connectivity. Three, is a party to WTO information and technology agreement and information technology expansion agreement. The Laopidia would like to invite both public and private sectors of all ITU member states and multinational companies to visit and explore the opportunities to jointly cooperate and invest in technology and innovation sectors in Laos. And finally, is the Laopidia is going to graduate from the least developed country category by 2026. Therefore, I make a plea to ITU and both bilateral and multilateral donors to lend their support in preparing a smooth and sustainable graduation, including the synergy of the implementation of LDC's 5, 2022, 2031. I thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
