 Prime Minister, your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon and a very warm welcome to this 26th World Economic Forum on ASEAN. My name is Justin Wood, I look after the Asia-Pacific region for the forum and it's my very great pleasure to formally open this meeting. There are two significant milestones associated with our summit this year. The first milestone is the fact that we are here in Cambodia. The World Economic Forum has been staging an ASEAN summit for the past 26 years but this is the first year that we've ever held it here in Cambodia and we're delighted to be here. I think all of you know that Cambodia as a country has experienced some terrible atrocities in recent years. But the story today is much brighter. The economy is growing by about 7% a year and it's lifting millions of Cambodians out of poverty. Ten years ago, half this country was living below the poverty line. Today, that number has fallen to just 13%. Of course, significant challenges remain but we hope that by bringing our summit to Cambodia this year we can both highlight the positives as well as contribute to addressing the ongoing challenges. The second milestone concerns the wider region. This is the 50th anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and I think that back in 1967 when it all began nobody could have predicted what was to follow. A time of deep conflict and regional tension has given way to an era of peace and stability. A group of deeply diverse nations are coming together and forging a community of mutual interest. Economic development is creating a giant middle class. Trade, investment and integration continue to deepen between the ten nations of ASEAN. Today, this region is one of the brightest stars on the global stage and the ASEAN organization has played a very significant role in writing that story. But this summit is not a moment to glory in past achievements. Many ongoing challenges remain to be tackled. Many new challenges are still emerging. And so this summit is really an occasion to look to the future and to ask where the ten countries of ASEAN go from here. Against that context, the theme of our summit this year is one of aspiration and hope. Our theme is youth technology and growth. From a youth perspective the countries of ASEAN collectively have an extremely young population and this young population should promise really a golden moment in the economic development story of the region. As the working age population grows in number so it should boost spending but also increase savings and those savings in turn can be recycled into building infrastructure, power stations, cities and so on. If the region gets its policy mix right the young population should really deliver a very potent and muscular demographic dividend. The second part of our theme, technology, refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The number of people with internet access across ASEAN is increasing every day by 124,000 people. That's nearly one million extra internet users every week and it's forecast to keep growing at that rate for the next five years. Over that period, over those five years that's an extra 230 million internet users on top of the 320 million who are already online. And as this digital technology takes hold the fourth industrial revolution could bring huge benefits to the region, driving financial inclusion, boosting access to affordable healthcare, opening up new forms of education and creating new companies and new service sector jobs. In many ways these two engines of future growth, youth and technology really should feed off each other. Young people are much more open to embracing technology and technology in turn makes it much easier to engage young people and to include them in the economic story. But nothing is guaranteed. Without the right policies today the fourth industrial revolution could see jobs disappear. Automation is becoming ever cheaper and a young and growing population without jobs is a formula for stagnation and social unrest. So these are the issues that we want to focus on during our summit. As ASEAN celebrates its 50th anniversary how do government leaders and business leaders ensure that the demographic dividend and the digital dividend pay up as fully as possible? How does the region build the brightest future for its young people? Today and tomorrow, the two days of our summit we have a very rich program to explore all of these issues. I'm sure the discussions will be fascinating and the ideas creative. I wish you all a very fruitful and highly productive summit and let me now hand over to the host of this opening plenary Dr. Phillip Rosler, the managing director of the World Economic Forum. Philippe. Thank you Justin for giving us a framework for our this year's ASEAN Summit 2017. Honourable panelists, dear co-chairs, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, who are welcome from my end. My name is Philippe and I have now the honour to moderate our high level panel with our four heads of state, heads of government out of the ASEAN community. And what Justin mentioned, so our headline for this session is ASEAN 50 Years Young, which will certainly contribute to our overall theme of this ASEAN Summit, which is youth, technology and growth. So let's start and allow me, ladies and gentlemen, that I first introduce our high level panel. To my left side, certainly our host, Prime Minister of Cambodia, his Excellency Samdech Tech Hun Sen. To his left side, the Prime Minister of Laos, his Excellency Tong-Lung Sisulit, Excellency, you are welcome. And also to his left side, President of the Philippines, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Excellency, you are welcome. And last but not least, the Prime Minister of Vietnam, Nguyen Suan Phuc, Excellency for you as well, you are welcome. And Excellencies allow me now to ask you to bring us your speech as a welcome and to open this summit officially on the lectern. Excellency, Prime Minister Hun Sen, the floor is yours. Thank you, Philip. Excellency, the President of the Philippines and the Chairman of ASEAN. Excellency, Prime Minister of Laos, BDR. Excellency, Prime Minister of Vietnam. Excellencies, Madam, ladies and gentlemen, Cambodia is extremely honored to be a host of this World Economic Forum on ASEAN under the theme of youth, technologies, and growth. Securing ASEAN's digital and demographic dividend. On behalf of the royal government and people of Cambodia, I would like to extend our warmest welcome to your Excellencies, Madam, ladies and gentlemen, head of state and government, ministers and delegates, and all the distinguished guests who have come to this ancient land of ASEAN. Indeed, this event is happening along the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN Establishment that provides an excellent platform for all national, regional, and international stakeholders to discuss and exchange views on emerging trends related to three important topics, ASEAN and changing global contact, ASEAN economic connectivity, and ASEAN youth dividend. This topic, or the deciding factors of ASEAN futures development, I'm delighted to note that this forum has brought together so many policies makers, CEOs of international cooperation, businessmen and Jews from all walks of life, both within and outside the region. This reflects great attention given to ASEAN as a whole and particular to Cambodia. Therefore, I believe that our discussion will be rigorous and realistic in providing policies, choice, and implementation measures, and practical projects for the long-term interest of ASEAN. Excellencies, madame, ladies and gentlemen, over the past five decades, ASEAN has undergone a complete transformation since its founding from a region with two blocs directed by conflict, misery, and poverty, to a region of peace, stability, and development, and a closely integrated community under a shared vision of ASEAN community, characterized by their high economic growth and deep structural transformation. Moreover, ASEAN has been positively responding to the resolution of all issues, both at regional and global levels, particularly in contributing to peace, security, safety, and stability for all nations in both Asia and the world. All these are all the contributing factors making ASEAN an indispensable strategic partner for all the regions, all the countries, the regional and international organizations across the globe. Undoubtedly, the newly changing global context in all aspects of recent geo-political, geo-economic, and political-social development, such as the rising anti-globalization movement and protectionism, rising nationalism and populist policies, rising temperatures in conflict across some regions, combined with a prolonged economic slowdown, have generated many new challenges for our national and regional development. Notwithstanding of these and incomparable reasons to all the regions, ASEAN has managed to maintain strong peace and security with good cooperation. While some other regional integration in the world is experiencing a setback, ASEAN is forging ahead with even stronger determination. It's passed for deeper integration in building ASEAN communities which is based on three pillars. Political security community, economic community, and social-cultural community. And through greater collaboration in all areas with our major partners. Though ASEAN is a regional grouping of 10 different countries, her past experience and efforts in building this community based on mutual respect, non-encheference in other's internal affairs and consensus and flexibilities in decision-making for everyone to contribute to the development of ASEAN known as the ASEAN way. Have shown strength and fundamentals of ASEAN resiliency over the long run. On this basis, we will be forging ahead together in carrying out tests with an wavering commitment toward a unified goal of building ASEAN community with one identity, ASEAN Unities in Diversity. Excellencies, Madam Ladies and Gentlemen. Nowadays, ASEAN is the third-largest economy in Asia and the seventh in the world with total GDP of about US $2.6 trillion in 2016. ASEAN has become one of the world's fastest-growing investment destination, accounting for 11% of total global foreign direct investment, FDI, inflow, as compared with just 5% in 2007. Moreover, ASEAN has also become one of the most attractive tourist destinations, both cultural tourism and natural tourism. With good security and high standard hospitalities. Looking forward, ASEAN has envisaged ambitious vision in building ASEAN Economic Communities 2025, which is a very highly integrated and co-ACU economy. With four key characteristics, including first, a single market and production base. Second, a highly competitive economic region. Third, a region of equitable economic development. And fourth, a region fully integrated into the global economy. To achieve this vision, I believe ASEAN has to continue its focus on important agenda as follows. First, continue strengthening and expanding cooperation to ensure full peace, security, safety, and stability through promoting a close dialogue, building trust as well as resolving regional issues with peace and based on the principle of international law. Second, continue ensuring that economic growth is robust, balanced, sustainable, and inclusive, with great attention given to reducing development gaps. Third, continue ensuring successful implementation of master plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025 in every aspect, including physical connectivity, institutional connectivity, and people-to-people connectivity, aiming to promote competitiveness, development, inclusiveness, and academic resilience in the region. Fourth, continue promoting ASEAN centralities in regional cooperation and strengthening ASEAN capacities in resolving any problems at regional and global level. Thus, the first priority of ASEAN is to reach the conclusion of regional comprehensive economic partnership, RCEP, comprising of 16 countries with ASEAN as the backbone, which has a market size of 3.4 trillion people and GDP of US $22.4 trillion, or about 30% of the world's economy in 2015. Additionally, we also have to ensure that the adopted growth vision and agenda can effectively respond to the new context of rapid changing world, especially the strong momentum of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which creates a new growth dynamism characterized by high flexibilities, dependence on technologies and markets, yet at the same time could create obstacles and challenges to the society, including political and security, economic and social cultural aspects at both national and regional level. Without a doubt, this new technological revolution will reset development for industry, trade, labor market and education, as well as governance and social security system, which requires ASEAN to cope with the appropriate policies respond in order to support the process of structural change enhanced by this revolution. In this regard, ASEAN must have an integrated agenda aligning to this trend in order to seize the opportunities and to address unexpected problems by devoting great attention to promoting qualities of education, promoting skill development, addressing employment issues, formulating an effective social protection system, as well as addressing the issues of social inequalities and cyber security, et cetera. As responsible members, Cambodia is well-prepared to work with all stakeholders to undertake tests, aiming to achieve the ASEAN community's vision 2025, forging ahead together for long-term peace, security, stability, and prosperity for all nations in the region. Excellencies, madam, ladies and gentlemen, Cambodia is a small economy with high level of openness. This is a primary reason that we have attached great importance to regional integration and connectivity. As a result, Cambodia's economy is regarded as one of the new emerging economies, as well as one of the most successful post-war countries, which is based on robust economic growth on average of about 7.6 percent per annum from 1994 to 2016, and has maintained macroeconomic stability, attained manageable inflation, well-managed public debt, achieved remarkable poverty reduction, as well as increased GDP per capita 4.5 times from US $2,888 in the year 2000 to US $1,302 in 2016. Indeed, trade has played a crucial role toward development of Cambodia's economy. Becoming a member of ASEAN communities and World Trade Organization has promoted Cambodia's linkage with regional and global value change and production networks. For the medium term, Cambodia's economic growth is focused to be robust with growth around 7 percent per annum. In order to achieve its long-term vision, becoming upper middle income countries by 2030 and high income countries by 2050, Cambodia will unwaveringly and actively continue implementing open domestic policies through devoting a greater deal of effect on linking and integrating of all sectors into regional and global economy, speeding up structural reforms as well as to upgrading institutional capacities and human resources. Moving forward, Cambodia is envisaging a trend of technologies advancement. Similar to other countries in the region, Cambodia is rapidly absorbing advanced technologies, particularly in new industry sectors and among youth. In 2016, mobile phone penetration was more than 125 percent of the total population. And internet penetration was 47 percent while in 2008, mobile phone penetration was only 25 percent. And internet penetration was merely 0.13 percent. The new era of technologies is an opportunity for Cambodian youth to speed up development with greater momentum. In this context, the Royal Government of Cambodia has been paying great attention on youth and technologies development, especially through the reform of education system and training with great success on promoting skill development in science, technologies, engineering and mathematics, as well as promoting entrepreneurship and self-skill for lifelong training. Moreover, industrial development policies 2015-2025 has reoriented our efforts and opened for private sector engagement with an aim of supporting technology sector development in Cambodia. In this spirit, I appeal to all business people to join hands with the Royal Government of Cambodia to create a favorable environment for nurturing and developing these potential sectors. Cambodia is optimistic and we all have the view that eight-year century will definitely enable Asians to lead not only in driving economic growth but also in developing technologies and sectors. Finally, I wish the Forum's great success as a planet and wish Excellencies, Madame, Ladies and Gentlemen a pleasant stay with good memories about Cambodia. Now I wish to officially announce the opening of World Economic Forum on Asian 2017 from now on. Thank you. Thank you, Prime Minister Hun Sen for opening our Asian Summit. May I ask now the other heads-of-status of government to share with us your thoughts, your ideas in terms of the 50th anniversary of the Asian community. I would like to start with the Prime Minister of Laos, Dong Lung Sizulit. The floor is yours. Thank you, Justin. Your Excellency, some day come and ask it up, but I teach you Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Excellencies, President of the Philippines, Prime Minister of Vietnam and Son Phuc. At the outset, I would like to express my sincere thanks to your Excellencies, some day come and ask and the World Economic Forum for inviting me to participate in this World Economic Forum on Asian, as well as for the excellent arrangement made by our host. I do share the view expressed by Prime Minister Hun Sen just now, which highlighted the growth of ASEAN throughout the past five decades, as well as our vision to foster development and growth as a community which are insightful to us. This year marks the 50th anniversary of ASEAN throughout the past five decades. ASEAN has evolved and been contested through various challenges. Nevertheless, ASEAN has recorded significant achievements, for instance, in maintaining peace and security in the region, enhancing cooperation within the region, and with external partners, attaining a steady economic growth, as well as offering potential for being a single market and production base, which Prime Minister Hun Sen also highlighted with the combined GDP of $2.4 trillion in 2016. Nevertheless, at least the rapid changing complex and predictable regional and international environments, ASEAN must adapt and adjust itself in order to overcome the emerging challenges in the years ahead. This includes demographic transition, the imbalance between different age groups such as the younger and the older population. It is estimated that the percentage of aging population will increase rapidly in some ASEAN countries after 2020, which may cause direct impact on socioeconomic development in ASEAN. Distinguished delegates against this backdrop, ASEAN must adopt appropriate measures to ensure sustainability of its labor market. To this end, ASEAN has made tremendous efforts in promoting quality education, aiming at developing labor skills in order to increase effectiveness and efficiency in production, taking into account its limited labor force. At the same time, ASEAN has also given particular attention to the aging population by promoting a decent healthcare system, improve access to healthcare services, disseminating healthcare-related information and strengthening pension schemes, as well as promoting lifelong learning of the older age groups, thus enabling them to keep up with the new technology and knowledge for continuing their work as appropriate even after the retirement age. It is also essential to create an environment conducive for public-private sector as well as families and the whole society to make greater contribution to providing proper care for aging population, both physically and in spiritual terms. As for the Laopida with 6.5 million people, the majority of whom are relatively at young age, which accounts for 60 percent, especially those under the age of 25, of the total population. However, the low level of education, labor skills remain a challenge, which to some extent have affected employment opportunities, start-up jobs and businesses and supply of educated labor force for development activities, including limited access of younger people to new technology and innovation. And their participation in social-economic development remains moderate. Therefore, in order to address the same challenges, the Lao government has continued to implement various human resource development plans and programs by focusing on providing greater access to education for all, for instance, ensuring net enrollment rate of 90 percent in primary school, 85 percent in lower secondary school, and 60 percent in upper secondary level, including 60 percent enrollment rate in vocational institutes and 5 percent in other professional trainings in order to meet the demand of labor market and national development need from now up to 2025. In addition, private sector and foreign investors have also been strongly encouraged to make greater contribution to development of education and health sectors in the country through improving the existing investment laws, easing barriers which have hampered social-economic development in order to better facilitate investments flow. Distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen, in overcoming the current uncertainties and challenges, ASEAN will continue to strengthen regional economic integration as well as to engage with other regions of the world in accordance with the directions set out by ASEAN leaders aimed at ensuring a dynamic ASEAN economic community. On this note, I would like to call upon the private sector which constitutes a driving force for economic growth to continue improving and adapting themselves in order to increase competitiveness and relevancy in the age of innovation and the fourth industrial revolution. The public sector as well, on the other hand, must also chart out appropriate policies to promote the increasing role of the private sector. Thank you very much. Thank you, Prime Minister, and let's immediately move to President Duterte. Please share with you with us the vision for ASEAN maybe in the next 50 years. Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Thank you and the World Economic Forum for this opportunity to address you. ASEAN has long been here on-way since its establishment 50 years ago. We have overcome initial difficulties to become a more united region of great promise and substantial progress guided by common values and shared aspirations. ASEAN is at the core of regionalism in Southeast Asia. Asia's 10 member states now stand firmly at the center of the future of the ASEAN Pacific region. ASEAN is becoming a significant global player. It plays a key role in promoting peace and stability in the region, and it is an emerging economic powerhouse. The region is now the world's sixth largest economy, the third largest consumer base. It stands at the crossroads of global trade flows. ASEAN is home to more than 600 people, making it larger than European Union or North America. ASEAN has the third largest labor force in the world. Our young population is producing a democratic dividend. Understandably, there is increased investor confidence in our region. But while we celebrate ASEAN's achievement, we recognize that more needs to be done for our people. We continue to face many challenges. Integration and connectivity efforts have to be ramped up. Technical changes impact on the workforce, as well as the trade and investment and capital flows. Transnational crime threatened to undermine economic progress and development. GAPs threatened to hold us back from achieving the inclusive growth for our people. But we cannot stand by and let these challenges hold us back from achieving the future of our people, which deserve the changes. ASEAN Chair, the Philippine Reserves, aims to establish meaningful partnership for positive change as we engage the larger world. We aim to operate the ASEAN goal of achieving a vibrant, sustainable, and highly integrated economy. Our vision is an ASEAN economic community that is relevant, responsive, and transformative. We seek threatened channels for connectivity. We will intensify efforts to narrow the development gap across all areas. This, as we seek ASEAN's unity and solidarity at all times through a common, principled position that enhances its role and amplifies its voice in the international fora. We will continue to seize opportunities with our economic partners within and outside the region. But make no mistake, in pursuit of integration, it is distinctively ASEAN way that will guide us. What does that mean? It means achieving sustainable and inclusive development for a region according to our needs at our own pace and guided by our core values. The ASEAN has allowed us to get where we are now. It will take us forward furthermore. ASEAN is cognizant of the need for more inclusive participation in the community building process. We want to ensure that the benefits of integration are felt by all our people in the region. But we face a development gap that must be addressed while the region has been seen poverty levels decreased by half. In the last 50 years, development remains good. There remains a huge disparity in our GDP per capita from a low $1,200 to a high of nearly $53. One way to address this is to remain committed to ASEAN integration work plan 2. It is targeted to accelerate economic integration of our newer partners, namely Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. Another is by promoting inclusive innovation led growth. The Philippines champions economic priority delivery bubbles that provide an amazing environment for the MSMEs to develop and become regionally and globally competitive. MSMEs, after all, are significant contributors to ASEAN community. By boosting MSME capacities, we support equitable development, competitiveness, and robustness in the region's economy. Certainly, our community can only become strong if it is well-connected and highly integrated region. The master plan of ASEAN connectivity of 2025 must not remain a vision, but a reality if you want to promote competitiveness, inclusiveness, and a greater sense of a community in the region. In this regard, we have to focus a sustainable infrastructure, digital innovation, seamless logistics, regulatory excellence, and people mobility. Most importantly, we should invest in human capital. Analysts point out that the Philippines, together with Southeast Asian countries, is a demographic sweet spot and is likely to post Asia's fastest economic growth rates in the coming years. The youth is certainly a key sector that we must invest in. The ASEAN Work Plan on Youth 2016-2020 encourages youth entrepreneurship, employment and employability, awareness, volunteerism, and resilience. The plan deserves our full support. The ASEAN youth are among the best and are most creative, intelligent, and innovative in the world. We must empower them to be the best version of themselves. But we cannot turn a blind eye on the scourge of illegal drugs that threatens our youth and the future of our societies. We need to take a committed stand to dismantle and destroy the illegal drug trade apparatus. We must reaffirm our commitment to realize a drug-free ASEAN community. Fifty years ago, the ASEAN founding fathers headed the call for unity and acted with dedication, determination, and foresight. Five decades hence, ASEAN has a compelling narrative of our world. ASEAN is now closer to achieving one vision, one identity, and one community. But the ASEAN story does not end here. This is a continuing tale that we must shape and build for the interests of our peoples. The Philippines will do its part. ASEAN member states will do their part as well. Join us together and let us be partners in an enduring engagement to bring positive change for our world and our region. Thank you. Thank you, President Duterte, as the President of the Philippines, but as well as the this year's 2017 Chair of the ASEAN community. Now allow me to ask Prime Minister Nguyen Suan Phuc to share with us your ideas in terms of the 50th anniversary of the ASEAN community. Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, San Blat Hun Sen, President of the Philippines, Mr. Duterte, Prime Minister of Laos, Tong Lun, Suzulit, Mr. Philip Rosler, Managing Director of WAF. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to express my sincere thanks to Prime Minister Hun Sen and the Government of Cambodia for their warm hospitality, cordial delegation and excellent arrangements for the WAF on ASEAN by the host country and the World Economic Forum as we look back into 50 years of ASEAN development and move forward to the future. I share with you all the points we have raised and like to emphasize the following points, the Third Industrial Revolution with the Board of Internet contributed significantly to the impressive economic growth as over the past five decades, I believe, that the Fourth Industrial Revolution with new technologies will pose new opportunities and challenges to ASEAN. First, ASEAN is part of the Asia Pacific, the world's most dynamic growth region. I think that despite certain difficulties facing Asia Pacific, the region remains an important growth agent of the world. According to World Bank 2015, ASEAN was the world's largest economy and will be the fifth largest one by 2020. In the ASEAN, Vietnam is among the most dynamic economies with which we grow 6% in the last 30 years in spite of its growth from 6.5 to 7% in 2017-20 period. ASEAN's dynamic development is opening up opportunities for businesses and investors. Second, ASEAN is a market of more than 600 million people with rising income, 2,000 of them are under working age. ASEAN is one of the regions having the youngest population in the world. More importantly, the ASEAN people are hardworking, eager to learn and have the desire to rise with strong startup spirit. Really, a big market for businesses, for companies to invest, do business and implement innovative projects. In Vietnam, about 60% of our 93 million population are under 35 years old. They are able to access to new technologies quickly. 52% of population are internet users 2015. Vietnam ranks top 10 in Asia Pacific with 31Y on software manufacturing. And we want to be the top 10 worldwide by 2020 in the terms of software and digital content industries with 1 million IT workers. This is an important advantage and reality shows that major IT firms such as Fujitsu, Intent, IBM, Microsoft, GA, Samsung, C-Man, Accuten and others are expanding their businesses in Vietnam. Third, Vietnam is working with ASEAN members to establish a single market by 2025. Most barriers to trade, investment, or skilled labour movement will be removed. At the same time, we have signed 12 FTAs including high standard ones. In 2016, the World Bank said that we have jumped nine dots in terms of the investment movement. And we are the host of APEC 2017. We would like to welcome you all to APEC events to promote economic connectivity, competitiveness, and innovation in the digital age. You are fully aware of challenges facing ASEAN town. How to fully tap the potentials of the young worker force in the global context. To maintain its dynamic growth and competitiveness, we cannot rely solely on resources and young and unskilled labour. We need to generate new growth momentum coming from innovation and besides reforming economic governance. ASEAN needs to equip its people, especially young workers with necessary skills to master new technologies to meet new requirements for employment opportunities with that as such as where ASEAN considers to establish a working group to make policy recommendations on education, vocational training, promotion of start-up and innovation, establish a start-up market, and encourage companies to invest in or buy out the start-up of the ASEAN talents. As a dynamic member of ASEAN, Vietnam is striving towards sustainable development based on better growth quality and opportunities provided by the Ford Revolution to increase productivity, competitiveness so that we can move up to that in a global value chain. Vietnam is committed to building a neighboring government for development, to institutional reforms and favorable business environment for people, especially the youth. We will revitalize education, promote start-up, innovation, dynamism of the country. Ladies and gentlemen, throughout its 50 years of development, ASEAN is proud to be a successful model of regional integration with an increasing connected ASEAN community that plays an increasingly important role in reaching the world. Such achievements must be treasured and should be the basis for us to believe in a peaceful, stable and prosperous future of people oriented in rural space ASEAN. We will do our best to work with ASEAN and its partners for this noble goal. Thank you very much for your attention. So dear prime ministers, Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, first I would like to thank our honorable speaker for his speeches to open our ASEAN summit. And you all mentioned the role and the importance of the youth. And yesterday we had a remarkable open forum with more than 2,700 young Cambodians. And they could raise their vision, their ASEAN dream. And it turns out that they wanted to have an ASEAN based on values, freedom, democracy, rule of law, human rights, fight against corruption and certainly peace and stability. And listen to your speeches, I think that fits. Listen to the leaders of the ASEAN community. So ladies and gentlemen, again, a thank you to our honorable speaker and please a big hand to our heads of state and heads of government. And one wish was the question of inclusion and inclusive growth. On that note, I would like now to move to our Social Entrepreneur Award of the Year here in ASEAN 2017. I would like to call on stage Goy Foumin for the Schwab Foundation of Social Entrepreneurship. Goy, the floor is yours. Thank you, Philip. Distinguished panel, special guests, ladies and gentlemen, we are now pleased to present the 2017 Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Asia. With the Social Entrepreneurship Award, the Schwab Foundation recognizes and celebrates social innovation, inclusiveness, and social progress. We are happy to have many of the social entrepreneurs from the region with us today. Those who are participating in this meeting have all been distinguished for their contributions to improving the lives of thousands, if not millions of people. They are based throughout the Asia region, working in diverse fields, and are pioneers in developing new methods to tackling unemployment, agricultural productivity, rural development, homelessness, and more. Please join me in giving them a round of applause. Today we have the pleasure of recognizing the two Social Entrepreneurs of the Year from Asia, Gregory Dyer and Nga Trang, of medical technology and transfer services. MTTS radically reduced the cost of life-saving neonatal devices that otherwise would not be available to people in poor parts of the world. Such devices create conditions such as hypothermia, jaundice, respiratory distress syndrome, and others. As of 2016, over 1.3 million babies in Asia and Africa have been treated using MTTS devices. Unfortunately, Nga could not make it here today, and Gregory will be accepting on her behalf as well. So please join us in congratulating co-founders Gregory Dyer and Nga Trang. Thank you very much, and congratulations. Ladies and gentlemen, on that note I would like to close our opening plenary. I wish you fruitful discussion and fruitful sessions. Thank you very much.
