 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Your Excellency, Secretary-General of ITU, the Stingers' Delegates. Firstly, I would like to express our gratitude to the government and the people of Romania for the warm hospitality extended to us since we landed in Bucharest through this conference. I am honoured to address this conference on behalf of the government of Timor-Leste to affirm our aspiration for a better digital future for everyone, the Stingers' Delegates. Timor-Leste joined ITU just 12 years ago in 2010 at the PP in Guadalajara, Mexico. In the short period of time, we have learned that for Timor-Leste to be successful in this new country, digital connectivity, in more than just a night blur, it is more than requisite for our country to participate meaningfully the new economy. Hence, we have embraced the view that building the same digital infrastructure for Timor-Leste is a necessary precondition for raising the living standard for our people. And the same spirit of ITU's commitment to connect and unite. I am glad to inform you that Timor-Leste has made some progress in building the telecommunication networks and services to connect the 1.3 million people in our country one to another and to connect them to the world. More specifically, the aggregate international bandwidth for Timor-Leste has grown from just 150 megabit per second in 2010 over 30 gigabit per second this year. This number will rise further more rapidly to multiple hundreds of gigabits per second in early 2024 once we complete the construction of our first international submarine cable system. I am also pleased to inform you that we have had a functioning market connected by three international mobile services since 2012. The mobile network cooperating in Timor-Leste has excelled 90% of our population areas since 2015. Indeed, our youth are already on social media platforms for Instagram to TikTok using 4G that the services are accessible in all municipalities turned across the country. Distinguished delegates, for each of those modest achievements I mentioned, it is achieved by technical assistance many fully and generously extended to us by ITU and several members of state in particular. I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Secretary-General of ITU, His Excellency Minister Holing Jo, to the past and current directors of the Telecommunications Development Bureau and to the ITU Regional Office in Bangkok and its area office in Jakarta. Likewise, I would like to thank the Administration of Australia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Indonesia and Portugal along with other distinguished members of the HCM and the CPLP communities. Distinguished delegates, looking forward we aspire of the digitally connected economy where all countries can work collaboratively to achieve progress in the journey of development. In Timor-Leste we will continue to redouble our efforts to extend digital infrastructure to connect those who are not yet connected, most especially the students and faculty members in our school and universities to raise the digital literacy of our population and to strengthen our capacity to unite and reduce cybersecurity risk. Distinguished delegates, as we prepare ourselves to increasingly integrate our economy and people to connect the digital world of our time, we have high hopes that the conference will live up the true meaning of those two words we have heard repeatedly here in this conference, namely to connect and unite. The more less the trust that we can count on the wisdom and collegiality of the ITU that has been nurtured by its membership over the past 157 years to ensure that we will build a better digital future that will connect and unite as all, large and small. I thank you.
