 Welcome to this forum. Information and communications technology can advance human rights, sustainable development, and peace. The three pillars of UN activity. With mobile phones, farmers can monitor prices. Refugees can let their families know they are safe. And health workers can respond to emergencies. And this is why the United Nations is working to unleash the power of information and communications technology for our common future. We want to ensure that big data will bring the big impact that so many people need. And this forum can forge partnerships among governments, the private sector, civil society, and technical community and academia. Together, we can make the most of information and communications technology to realize the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and keep its promise of a life of dignity for all. Thank you.
