 Excellencies, distinguished participants, dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, I am very pleased to be in your midst today as you launched the important work of the Preparatory Secretariat for the next ITU Plenary Potentialary Conference, which is scheduled to be held in Busan from the 20th of October to the 7th of November, 2014. The ITU Secretary General, Dr. Amanon Tui, had wanted to deliver this video message himself, but has unfortunately been unable to do so due to his current travel commitments. Dr. Tui has especially requested that I express again his appreciation and that of ITU for the excellent organization and hospitality shown to him during his recent visit to Korea in September of this year. He was impressed by the well-established preparation plan the Korea Administration has made, and the goodwill the city of Busan has shown to him. At ITU, we are particularly looking forward to returning to Busan after ITU telecom Azure in 2004 held in Busan. We are very confident that Busan will provide an excellent platform to host the PP-14 with its efficiency, hospitality, and beauty. Returning recently from the ITU telecom world here in Dubai, we had the opportunity to visit the Korea Parvelling, where everyone was so impressed not only by the dancing robot, but by the excellent PP-14 welcome stand that was already providing invaluable information about the PP-14 and our host city of Busan. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you a good news that in the recent published report, the Measuring the Information Society report 2012, which is an ITU annual statistical report, Korea remains number one among 160 countries registered in this report. We sincerely congratulate Korea for its marvelous achievements in ICT development. Ladies and gentlemen, the Plenary Potential Conference is the top policy-making body of the ITU. Held every four years, the conference, among other tasks, we assess the unit's general policies, adopt a four-year strategic and financial plan, and elect the senior management team of the organization, the member of council, the members of the Radio Regulations Board. The PP-14 in Busan will be a pivotal moment for the unit. With the launching of the preparatory secretariat today by the Korea Administration, we can be confident that we have started our journey to PP-14 in a timely and efficient manner. On behalf of the secret general, the other elected officials of the ITU, and all ITU staff and members, we congratulate you on the launching of the preparatory committee today, and look forward to working closely with you to ensure an effective and successful Plenary Potential Conference in the beautiful city of Busan in two years' time. Thank you very much for your attention.
