 Welcome to WTDC 17 here in Buenos Aires in Argentina, where I'm very pleased to be joining the studio today by Mr. Huling Zhao, who is Secretary General of ITU. Mr. Zhao, thank you very much for being with us today. Oh, it's a pleasure. Now, I'd just like to talk about WTDC 17 and how important is this event? I know it's important in ITU's calendar. It's one of the most important telecommunication development events. But in furthering ITU's objective to connecting people everywhere. You know, ITU's mandate is to connect people, connect the world. ITU was created in 1865, but the ITU's mandate focused on development really started from the 1990s. And we started there from 1992 to create a new sector, ITU telecommunicating development sector. And since then, we organized activities. We tried to work with our members to address the development issue. And the first World Telecommunication Development Conference was held in 1994. Exactly, also here in Buenos Aires. But then, we just tried to push the investment and support to ICT. Just imagine, 1994, what a situation of ICT connectivity in the world. Look at the city today. You see the importance of ICT to facilitate the socio-economic development. And people realize that ICT is enabled to facilitate all socio-economic development. However, the situation today is different compared with 1994. Therefore, this World Telecommunication Development Conference is quite important for our future. That ITU will make this opportunity a unique opportunity to invite our member states, our partners, our friends to work together to address the issue of the ICT development for next four years, for next 20 years. You know that we had United Nations Sustainable Development Goals approved in 1995. This is the first World Telecommunication Development Conference after SDG approved in 2015. So we will look at this issue to see how can we link our work with SDG. How can we make ICTs more developed with new technologies to bring the new technologies beneficial to our people, but also to bring these beneficial to everybody. Because today we still have, unfortunately, half the population not connected online yet. So these are major issues for us, and we will take this golden opportunity at a wider level to look at the ICT's future development to bring our wider population into the future with ICT's benefits. The focus last time was on broadband and broadband penetration. The theme of the conference this year is in fact ICTs for SDGs. And I wanted to ask you about ICTs in the attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. During my discussion with Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Kuterres, he fully recognized the value of ICT. He even put the word that ICT is important for all and every SDGs, 17 SDGs. This kind of recognition of ICT is really important. And it is also very good for our industry, for our business. And we see also ICT now moving not only with the ICT technology development, but also to go everywhere to help another ecosystem. And at this meeting, we will be able to see opportunities that the Secretary-General, Director-General of World Health Organization, will come to join us. We will talk about ICT and public health. And we have a lot of projects presented by our experts in their consultation with the other ecosystem at their level to see how can ICT help other ecosystems such as education, public health, agriculture, and everything you can think about today. I'm pretty sure that this conference will give us very good guidance that for next four years, for next 20 years, how ICT would better integrate with the other systems and facilitate the other development. Now, of course, we're going to hear a lot of exciting and stimulating conversation here over the next couple of weeks. What concrete actions do you hope will come from this conference? Of course, for such kind of conference, we needed to see some concrete result. We will set up some goals, implementable concrete, but also somehow ambitious, because if you don't have a dream, you will not be good in doing something useful and better. And here, I think that we like to see if we can have some kind of declarations by the family. We can have some kind of strategies, what we can do next four years. Of course, we also like to see some action lines. And those kind of things, I think that we already have some kind of preliminary discussions, and I think that this conference where finalized this, and here, I also like to take this opportunity to share with you good news that I was honored to be received by the Pope at the beginning of September. And during my discussion with him, and he also recognized the new technologies, ICTs, and he appreciated very much I.T.U.'s work, and he considered that I.T.U.'s mandate to connect the people, connect the world with new technologies, and not to leave everybody behind. Anybody behind is absolutely, you know, critical to the future of our population in the planet. He will also give us a message to show his support to I.C.T. I think that this kind of messages we encourage our family members, encourage our industry members, encourage our friends or partners that we have to, you know, to work hard to achieve the goals everybody is waiting for. Well, very much encouraging words. Thank you very much, Steve, for being with us in the studio today, and we wish you the very best for this conference and, of course, the future up to 2030 and beyond. Yeah, I'm very confident.
