 Every year, since 2006, Geneva has played host to a key conference on technology and development. It's called the World Summit on the Information Society Forum and it's hosted by the International Telecommunication Union based here in Geneva. It is the largest annual gathering of its kind. 1500 delegates from more than 100 countries will come together here and at the neighbouring World Intellectual Property Organisation to work on the best way to implement the WISIS Action Lines. That is, those strategies adopted at the original summits held in Geneva in 2003 and Tunisia in 2006. At its heart, the aim of the summits and conferences is a simple one. Creating an information society for all. But just how does this forum contribute to that goal? Well, that's a question I put to Huling Zhao, Secretary-General of the ITU. Over the last ten years, we have achieved a lot. Today, among 7.3 billion population, we almost have 7.3 billion mobile subscriptions. Ten years ago, nobody can imagine that way. So that is a marvellous achievement. And we also have one-third of population already online. So this is also a marvellous achievement. We are talking about information society and we really enjoy the information we can access. This is marvellous. So, that's the message from the head of the ITU, Huling Zhao. But who are the delegates coming to this WISIS Conference 2015? And what do they expect? I come to this summit to find people, to collaborate with us and to help people in Cameroon with materials education. I'm here because this is the most important congress or meeting of ministers in telecommunications of the information society, which is so important for our development for the world in general. And also to celebrate ITU's 150th birthday. We're very happy with that. ITU has made a great contribution in over a century to the development of telecommunications and communications in the world and so we would like to stress that and celebrate that occasion. I expect from the WISIS Forum this year more opportunities to spread the gospel of the global partnership in professionalism. I've been coming to WISIS for the past ten years when it started having great aspirations and hope that technology was going to change the world. And over the last ten years I've seen how much things have happened and progressed and it's a wonderful opportunity for people to exchange ideas and share their experiences with each other to make technology really work. So today we've heard from delegates arriving here at the WISIS Forum of 2015 and learned about their approaches and expectations to this conference. In coming days we'll learn more about how they and their colleagues at meetings like this one plan to address the issue of opening the information society to everyone.
