 Good morning everybody. I'm very happy to celebrate virtually with you the 50th anniversary of the Finnish Water Association. 50 years is a mature age and it shows the quality of the association, its commitment to working collaboratively and how water is important. Of course, I'm not so surprised that you should reach this landmark because Finland is a country of water. We celebrate also today World Water Day and the theme this year is Living No One Behind. When the 2030 Agenda was adopted in 2015 by the UN, all countries and stakeholders set out an ambitious agenda and is aging a world free of poverty, hunger and disease. A world where all life can thrive and where no one is left behind. In European countries, where your association is well represented and active through a rule, the task is not so difficult. Although we still need to think about everyone, which means including people isolated in the country's diet, marginalized people and migrants. But we know that the challenge is even bigger elsewhere in the world. That is why IWA places developing countries high up in its agenda and in its strategic plan for 2019-2024. I welcome you and your association to the IWA Development Congress in Colombo in December, where we will promote our water work in the context of a magic economy. The IWA Water and Development Congress is a global event with a strong focus on sustainable solution for emerging economy. It provides a platform for national, regional and international cooperation on water. Bridging the gap between the science and practice of water management. The Congress connects with industry, financial institution and policy makers to deliver solutions that help to achieve the global agreed 2030 sustainable development goals vision for water and beyond. The aim of the event is to connect people working in different regions, in different organizations and with different approaches to water and sanitation service delivery in low and middle income countries. I would like also to take this opportunity to remind you that the SDGs are not just for developing countries. The objective is also challenging for the developed countries. It will not be easy to reach these objectives in particular in wastewater treatment and water scarcity. That is why IWA is also pushing forward with internal cooperation on those topics between its members. As you may know, the IWA World Water Congress will take place in Copenhagen in October 2020, when IWA will celebrate its 20th anniversary. The Congress in Copenhagen will be hosted not only by Denmark, but by all the Nordic regions. IWA members from around the world look forward to learn about you and to share their knowledge. The Nordic region is a model for many of us in the way you manage to balance life and nature, to innovate and to implement a sustainable economy. This is the spirit, the essence of the SDGs. I am sure I can count on you and your association to collaborate with the Danish Association and other Nordic Water Associations and to be visible and share with the rest of the world your vision of a water-wise world. I'm also sure, of course, that you will want to take advantage of such an important event being held so close by drawing us to learn from the rest of the world. Thank you for your contribution to the world of water and your loyal support to IWA. I wish you a wonderful day.
