 Welcome to the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2022 here in Bucharest, in Romania. And I've got the great pleasure of being in the studio today with Cezar O'Nei, who is the director-elect of the Telecommunications Standardization Bureau. Mr. O'Nei, welcome to the studio. Yeah, thank you, Max-san. Can I ask you, how would you describe ITU in the world right now? As everyone knows, ITU is the United Nations Specialized Agency for ICT. So ITU has a role of facilitating the development economically and socially. And also it facilitates international collaboration among nations. So, more specifically, today's big goal, a big role, is to connect the unconnected. And also the role of ITU can be broken down to the details. That is, will be each roles of each sector, ITU-T, ITU-R, and ITU-D. So regarding ITU-T, ITU-T is responsible for the telecommunications standardizations as the name says, as it is. But standardization is very important. Developing the standards is one of the roles of ITU-T. But my belief is that dissemination, implementation of standards is more important than that. So actually, the ITU-T need to contribute to the whole role of the ITU. That's my idea. Now, you've been called the father of LTE, referring to the long-term evolution towards 4G mobile networks. Given your industry experience, which you've got a long and lengthy, healthy career, what do you consider your priorities as the ITU's next standardization director? Yeah. Thank you for mentioning the father of LTE. Actually, my experience in industry is a very key feature of myself. And yes, from the industry point of view, actually during the campaign of the election, I have four commitments. But I found recently, there are recent frequently asked questions about three priorities. But no problem. I can map the four priorities into the three priorities. First, outreach worldwide. This is the same as to connect and connect it through the standardization. Second, it's a new ecosystem or a new collaboration framework that we need required to achieve the first priority. And third one. Third is last but not least, I mean the organizational management. That is a foundational basis for other priorities. I mean the open and inclusive, efficient, effective, transparent management that is needed for all. From the industry point of view, ITU activities are more practical, more responsive, and more useful. ITU standardization needs to contribute to the people's life and society and lead to the socially and economically development. ITU needs to contribute to such whole ITU role. And how can the ITU standardization sector, also known as ITUT, spread the benefits of new technologies more widely as well as help to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals? Yeah, actually, one idea of myself is I have a close collaboration, close relationship with the industry. So, the industry is very important to dissemination of the standards. That is my first priority outreach worldwide. To achieve this, we need the industry. Industry implements the standards. So, more involvement of the industry will help such new technologies dissemination. Actually, I believe that the telecom standards becomes meaningful only when it widely spreads. Then the economic scale and competition principle will lead to cost reduction and it makes a service and product affordable. Then the standard will widely spread. I want to create such a virtual cycle. That's my idea. Well, that would be excellent. And let's hope that we can bring into fruition very quickly and efficiently, which I'm sure that you will. Mr. Seizone, thank you so much indeed for being with us in the studio today. I know that you've had a long journey. You've been back to Japan and here again. But I just wanted to say congratulations on being elected as director of the Telecommunications Standardization Bureau. And we look forward to catching up with you again many times. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much. Thank you for having me. I think that's a good sign, boss.
