 Madam Secretary General, the ITU delegation, and my IEEE colleagues, if you're going to welcome to you, even though I'm not from here, I can welcome you to this meeting. And I'd like to express my deep appreciation to your generous invitation and welcome this morning, this afternoon, to your building. At IEEE, we know that the advancement of scientific and technical knowledge has always been the engine that quality of life has been improving because of things we do. As a public charity, IEEE, its mission includes using technology to improve global conditions, along with universal and affordable access to internet in the poorest countries of this world. As a Secretary General of IEEE, you, Ms. Bogdan Martin, lead your members to transformational contribution to forging a better world. You have emphasized the need for digital transformation to achieve economic prosperity, gender equality, and socioeconomic inclusion. It is my honor to recognize as a transformational leader and an IEEE member. For the commitment you made to raise the digital divide globally. I truly believe that the most important application of technology is to improve people's lives. For those in the underserved privilege part of the world, it can improve opportunities for education for adults and children, provide better healthcare, economic suffering, advance economic conditions, and maintain human dignity. From green energy to conducting global climate change challenges, from transportation, electrification, digital transformation, health and agriculture, technology and technologists, particularly IEEE members of 160 countries, can play an active role in making this planet a better place to live. As a person who believes in the power of technology to benefit humanity, I find this to be a very compelling vision for our shared future. On behalf of the IEEE Board of Directors, my pleasure to recognize Ms. Doreen Bogdan Martin as the recipient of 2023 IEEE President's Award for her distinguished leadership at the ITU, policy-making body, and her notable contribution to the global public. It is fitting to note that she is an IEEE member, an active member, and we will make sure she becomes a senior member pretty soon, and IEEE fellow in the future. With that, thank you very much for welcoming us. Thank you. Well, thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. President, Dr. Raman. Welcome to the ITU, to you. And your team, it's an honor. I am deeply humbled by this recognition, and I really want to thank you for that. I also want to congratulate IEEE on its 50th anniversary this year, I think, and also 20 years of being an ITU member. Right. I think our two institutions, as you have noted, stand for the same thing, which is trying to bring the benefits of technology and derive those benefits for all of humanity. And I look forward to closely collaborating and cooperating and strengthening the partnership between our institutions. From this point on, we've had good collaboration in the past, but we look forward to strengthening that so that we can bring technology to all people. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
