 So, Excellencies, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, good morning to you all. I would also add my thanks to all of you for coming to this inauguration ceremony. And I would like to wish you and your families an excellent 2019. So it's for me not only an honor but also a great pleasure to have been elected to serve the ITU membership as Director of the Radio Communication Bureau and to integrate now the new team of elected officials under the leadership of our Secretary General, Mr. Haulin Zhao. I'm looking forward to good collaboration among all of us and that the three sectors would be really bringing a cohesive and united, let's say, effort towards the benefit of all members. I'm also thrilled to be leading the excellent team of professionals that the Bureau has to serve the membership with quality and efficiency. As you all know, radio communication services today are key for all the development of the telecommunications and ICT ecosystems. Everything we do and everything we use today is using somehow a radio communication-enabled device. Everything is mobile, everything is wireless. So the radio communication sector of the ITU plays a vital role by managing the radio frequency spectrum and the satellite orbits but also by adopting universally harmonized standards and regulation. And that is key in order to be able to bring affordable telecommunications to all, which is what all my predecessors talked about. So obviously I'm conscious about the great responsibility that the Member States have deposited in me, the confidence that they have expressed in electing me for such an important role and I'm thrilled to be able to be delivering on their expectations. The ITUR in general and the BR in particular have always been known by their efficiency, transparency and fairness and I think we should continue on that road and I would also like to include their inclusiveness. So we will strive to bring all the other Member States that have not been very active in the radio communication activities to our sector and to be participating and benefiting from what the radio communication sector is doing in ITU, which is key to all members now. As it was mentioned, this year will be marked by the World Radio Communication Conference 2019 that will be held in Egypt at the end of the year. This is a key conference, a treaty making conference which paves the way for the harmonious development of radio communications around the world. So we count on all of you to make this conference a success. We will start the year's activities on this regard with next month's conference preparatory meeting that will be held here in Geneva for 10 days in February, which will prepare a big report that will be the basis of discussions for the conference. So this will be somehow part of the end process of the preparation of the conference. The conference should be only the starting point for 5G to be rolled out, for non-just stationary satellites to become more and more present in our lives, for hubs to be part of our connectivity solutions for the rural areas, and so on and so forth. So there are so many services that are counting on what we decide on the World Radio Conference. So we look forward to working with all of you as Member States and with all the ITU staff in order to make it a success. So having said that, I reiterate my pleasure to be here and to count on all of you, and I'm looking forward to working with all of you to bringing ITU to new heights over the coming four years. Thank you very much.
