第1篇 施瓦辛格在共和*全国代表大会英语演讲稿
arnold schwarzenegger:
thank you very much. thank you.
what a greeting. what a greeting. wow!
this -- this is like winning an oscar. as if i would know! speaking of acting, one of my movies was called "true lies." and thats what the democrats should have called their convention.
you know, on the way up here to the podium, a gentlemen came up to me and said, "governor, you are as good a politician as you were an actor." what a cheap shot. cannot believe it.
anyway, my fellow americans, this is an amazing moment for me. to think that a once scrawny boy from austria could grow up to become governor of the state of california and then stand here -- and stand here in madison square garden and speak on behalf of the president of the united states. that is an immigrants dream! its the american dream.
you know, i was born in europe and ive traveled all over the world, and i can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the united states of america.
as long as i live -- as long as i live, i will never forget the day 21 years ago when i raised my right hand and i took the oath of citizenship. you know how proud i was? i was so proud that i walked around with the american flag around my shoulder all day long.
tonight, i want to talk to you about why im even more proud to be an american -- why i am proud to be a republican, and why i believe that this country is in good hands.
when i was a boy, the soviets occupied part of austria. i saw their tanks in the streets. i saw communism with my own eyes. i remember the fear we had when we had to cross into the soviet sector. growing up, we were told, "dont look the soldiers in the eye. just look straight ahead." it was common belief that the soviet soldiers could take a man out of his own car and ship him back to the soviet union as slave labor.
now my family didnt have a car -- but one day we were in my uncles car. it was near dark as we came to the soviet checkpoint. i was a little boy. i was not an action hero back then. but i remember -- i remember how scared i was that the soldiers would pull my father or my uncle out of the car and i would never see them again. my family and so many others lived in fear of the soviet boot. today, the world no longer fears the soviet union and it is because of the united states of america!
as a kid -- as a kid i saw socialist -- the socialist country that austria became after the soviets left. now dont misunderstand me: i love austria and i love the austrian people. but i always knew that america was the place for me. in school, when the teacher would talk about america, i would daydream about coming here. i would daydream about living here. i would sit there and watch for hours american movies, transfixed by my heroes, like john wayne. everything about america -- everything about america seemed so big to me, so open, so possible.
i finally arrived here in 1968. what a special day it was. i remember i arrived here with empty pockets, but full of dreams, full of determination, full of desire. the presidential campaign was in full swing. i remember watching the nixon and humphrey presidential race on tv. a friend of mine who spoke german and english translated for me. i heard humphrey saying things that sounded like socialism, which i had just left. but then i heard nixon speak. then i heard nixon speak. he was talking about free enterprise, getting the government off your back, lowering the taxes and strengthening the military.
listening to nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air. i said to my friend, i said, "what party is he?" my friend said, "hes a republican." i said, "then i am a republican." and i have been a republican ever since! and trust me -- and trust me in my wifes family, thats no small achievement. but i am proud to be with the party of abraham lincoln, the party of teddy roosevelt, the party of ronald reagan and the party of george w. bush!
to my fellow immigrants listening tonight, i want you to know how welcome you are in this party. we republicans admire your ambition. we encourage your dreams. we believe in you[r] future. and one thing i learned about america is that if you work hard and if you play by the rules, this country is truly open to you. you can achieve anything.
everything i have -- my career, my success, my family -- i owe to america.
in this country, it doesnt make any difference where you were born. it doesnt make any difference who your parents were. it doesnt make any difference if youre like me and you couldnt even speak english until you were in your twenties.
america gave me opportunities and my immigrant dreams came true. i want other people to get the same chances i did, the same opportunities. and i believe they can. thats why i believe in this country. thats why i believe in this party, and thats why i believe in this president.
now, many of you out there tonight are "republican" like me -- in your hearts and in your belief. maybe youre from guatemala. maybe youre from the philippines. maybe youre from europe or the ivory coast. maybe you live in ohio, pennsylvania, or new mexico. and maybe -- and maybe, just maybe, you dont agree with this party on every single issue. i say to you tonight that i believe thats not only okay, but thats whats great about this country. here -- here we can respectfully disagree and still be patriotic, still be american, and still be good republicans.
my fellow immigrants, my fellow americans, how do you know if you are a republican? well, i[ll] tell you how.
if you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government, then you are a republican.
if you believe that a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group, then you are a republican.
if you believe that your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does, then you are a republican.
if you believe that our educational system should be held accountable for the progress of our children, then you are a republican.
if you believe -- if you believe that this country, not the united nations, is best hope for democracy, then you are a republican.
and ladies and gentlemen -- and ladies and gentlemen, if you believe that we must be fierce and relentless and terminate terrorism, then you are a republican!
now theres another way you can tell youre [a] republican. you have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the american people, and faith in the u.s. economy. and to those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, i say: "dont be economic girlie men!"
the u.s. -- the u.s. economy remains the envy of the world. we have the highest economic growth of any of the worlds major industrialized nations. dont you remember the pessimism of 20 years ago when the critics said that japan and germany are overtaking the u.s.? ridiculous!
now they say that india and china are overtaking us. now dont you believe it. we may hit a few bumps -- but america always moves ahead. thats what americans do.
we move prosperity ahead -- we move prosperity ahead. we move freedom ahead. and we move people ahead. and under president bush and vice president cheney, americas economy is moving ahead in spite of the recession they inherited and in spite of the attack on our homeland.
now -- now the other party says that we are two americas. dont you believe that either. i have visited our troops in iraq, kuwait, bosnia, germany and all over the world. ive visited our troops in california, where they train before they go overseas. i have visited our military hospitals. and i tell you this: that our men and women in uniform do not believe there are two americas. they believe theres one america and they are fighting for it!
we are one america -- we are one america and president bush is defending it with all his heart and soul.
thats what i admire most about the president: he is a man of perseverance. hes a man of inner strength. hes a leader who doesnt flinch, who doesnt waiver, and does not back down.
my fellow americans -- my fellow americans, make no mistake about it: terrorism is more insidious than communism, because it yearns to destroy not just the individual, but the entire international order. the president did not go into iraq because the polls told him it was popular. as a matter of fact, the polls said just the opposite. but leadership isnt about polls. its about ma -- its about making decisions you think are right and then standing behind those decisions. thats why america is safer with george w. bush as president.
he knows -- he knows you dont reason with terrorists. you defeat them. he knows you cant reason with people blinded by hate. you see, they hate the power of the individual. they hate the progress of women. they hate the religious freedom of others. and they hate the liberating breeze of democracy. but ladies and gentlemen, their hate is no match for americas decency.
we are -- we are the america that sends out the peace corps volunteers to teach our village children. we are the america that sends out the missionaries and doctors to raise up the poor and the sick. we are the america that gives more than any other country to fight aids in africa and the developing world. and we are -- and we are the america that fights not for imperialism but for human rights and democracy.
you know, when the germans brought down the berlin wall, americas determination helped wield the sledgehammers. and when the lone, young chinese man stood in front of those tanks in tiananmen square, america stood with him. and when nelson mandela smiled in election victory after all those years in prison, america celebrated, too.
we are still the lamp lighting the world, especially [for] those who struggle. no matter in what labor camp they slave, no matter in what injustice theyre trapped, they hear our call; they see our light; and they feel the pull of our freedom.
they come here as i did because they believe. they believe in us. they come because their hearts say to them, as mine did, "if only i can get to america." you know, someone once wrote: "there are those who say that freedom is nothing but a dream." they are right. its the american dream.
no matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, america brings out the best in people. and as governor -- as governor of the great state of california, i see the best in americans every day -- i see the best in americans everyday -- our police, our firefighters, our nurses, doctors, and teachers, our parents.
and what about the extraordinary men and women who have volunteered to fight for the united states of america. i have such great respect for them and their heroic families.
let me tell you about a sacrifice and the commitment that i have seen firsthand. in one of the military hospitals i visited, i met a young guy who was in bad shape. hed lost a leg; he had a hole through his stomach, and his shoulder had been shot through, and the list goes on and on and on.
i could tell that there was no way he could ever return to combat. but when i asked him, "when do you think youll get out of the hospital?" he said to me, "sir, in three weeks." and you know what he said to me then? he said he was going to get a new leg, and then he was going to get some therapy, and then he was going to go back to iraq and fight alongside his buddies. and you know what he said to me then? you know what he said to me then? he said, "arnold, ill be back!"
well, ladies and gentlemen -- ladies and gentlemen, america is back. back from the attack on our homeland, back from the attack on our economy, and back from the attack on our way of life. we are back because of the perseverance, character, and leadership of the 43rd president of the united states, george w. bush!
my fellow americans, i want you to know that i believe with all my heart that america remains "the great idea" that inspires the world. it is a privilege to be born here. it is an honor to become a citizen here. it is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here and to live here.
our president, george w. bush, has worked hard to protect and preserve the american dream for all of us.
and thats why i say, send him back to washington for four more years!
four more years! four more years! four more years! four more years! for more years!
thank you, america. thank you and god bless you all. thank you. thank you.
第2篇 潘基文秘书长在巴黎气候变化大会上英语演讲稿
潘基文作为联合国的秘书长，在巴黎气候变化大会上会演讲什么?以下是小编帮你解答!
your excellency mr. françois hollande, president of france, distinguished heads of state and government, your excellency mr. laurent fabius, president of cop21, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
you are here today to write the script for a new future, a future of hope and promise, ofincreased prosperity, security and dignity for all.
in september, at the united nations, you adopted an inspiring, new sustainable developmentagenda with 17 sustainable development goals, endorsed by all the people of the world.
you showed your commitment to act for the common good.
it is now time to do so again.
more than 150 world leaders have come to paris and are here together in one place, at the sametime, with one purpose.
we have never faced such a test. a political moment like this may not come again.
but neither have we encountered such a great opportunity at this time.
you have the power to secure the well-being of this and succeeding generations.
i urge you, distinguished leaders, to instruct your ministers and negotiators to choose thepath of compromise and consensus and if necessary, flexibility. bold climate action is in thenational interest of every single country represented at this conference.
the time for brinksmanship is over.
let us build a durable climate regime with a clear rule of the roads that all countries can agreeto follow.
paris must mark a decisively turning point.
we need the world to know that we are headed to a low-emissions, climate-resilient future,and that there is no going back.
the national climate plans submitted by more than 180 countries as ours today, cover close to100 percent of global emissions.
this is a very good start. but we need to go much faster, much farther if we are to limit theglobal temperature rise to below 2 degrees celsius.
the science has made it plainly clear.
even a 2-degree celsius rise will have serious consequences for food and water security,economic stability and international peace and security.
that is why we need a universal, meaningful and robust agreement here in paris.
i see four criteria for success.
first, the agreement must be durable.
it must send a clear signal to markets that the low-emissions transformation of the globaleconomy is inevitable, beneficial and already under way.
it must provide a long-term vision that anchors the below-2-degree-celsius goal, and recognizesthe imperative to strengthen resilience.
the world’s small island developing states have even less room to manoeuvre, and aredesperately asking the world to keep temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.
second, the agreement must be dynamic.
it must be able to accommodate changes in the global economy, and not have to becontinually renegotiated.
differentiation can and should be applied in a varied manner across the many elements of theagreement, in a way that does not undermine the integrity of the collective effort.
the agreement must strike a balance between the leadership role of developed countries andthe increasing responsibility of developing countries, in line with their capabilities and respectivelevels of development.
ladies and gentlemen,
the third requirement for success is an agreement that embodies solidarity with the poor andmost vulnerable.
it must ensure sufficient and balanced adaptation and mitigation support for developingcountries.
fourth, the agreement must be credible.
current ambition must be the floor, not the ceiling, for future efforts.
five-year cycles, beginning before 2020, are crucial.
all countries should agree to move toward quantified, economy-wide emission reductiontargets over time, with the flexibility for developing countries with a limited capacity.
developed countries must keep their promises to mobilize $100 billion dollars a year by 2020.
this same amount should serve as the floor for post-2020 finance commitments.
a new agreement must also include a single transparent framework for measuring,monitoring and reporting progress.
and countries with low capacity should receive flexibility and support so they can meet therequirements of this new system.
distinguished heads of state and government, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
this is a pivotal moment for the future of your countries, your people and our common home,our planet.
you can no longer delay.
let me be clear: the fate of a paris agreement rests with you. the future of the people, thefuture of the people of the world, the future of our planet world is in your hands.
we cannot afford indecision, half measures or merely gradual approaches. our goal must be atransformation.
the transition has begun. enlightened investors and innovative businesses are striving tocreate a climate-friendly economy. but they need your help and your vision in accelerating thisessential spirit and essential shift.
the peoples of the world are also on the move. they have taken to the streets, in cities andtowns across the world, in a mass mobilization for change.
we have seen such mass mobilization in new york in 2019, last year. we have seen, despitethe security concerns, many citizens coming out to the streets – sending their voices to theleaders. i sincerely hope that you listen very carefully and sincerely to the voices andaspirations of our people.
i met with several key civil society groups yesterday. and it is clear to me that they have cometo paris filled with energy and emotion – and that they expect each and every one of the leadersof this world today, who are here today, to show your leadership equal to the test. you have themoral and political responsibility for this world and for us and succeeding generations.
history is calling.
i urge you to answer with courage and vision. and i count on your strong leadership andcommitment to make this world better for all.
merci beaucoup.
thank you very much.
第3篇 奥巴马总统在巴黎气候变化大会上英语演讲稿
奥巴马总统在巴黎气候变化大会上说了什么?想必大家也想了解吧!以下是小编整理推荐的，欢迎大家阅读!
president hollande, mr. secretary general, fellow leaders,
we have come to paris to show our resolve.
we offer our condolences to the people of france for the barbaric attacks on this beautiful city. we stand united in solidarity not only to deliver justice to the terrorist network responsible for those attacks but to protect our people and uphold the enduring values that keep us strong and keep us free. and we salute the people of paris for insisting this crucial conference go on – an act of defiance that proves nothing will deter us from building the future we want for our children. what greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it?
nearly 200 nations have assembled here this week – a declaration that for all the challenges we face, the growing threat of climate change could define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other. what should give us hope that this is a turning point, that this is the moment we finally determined we would save our planet, is the fact that our nations share a sense of urgency about this challenge and a growing realization that it is within our power to do something about it.
our understanding of the ways human beings disrupt the climate advances by the day. fourteen of the fifteen warmest years on record have occurred since the year 2019 – and 2019 is on pace to be the warmest year of all. no nation – large or small, wealthy or poor – is immune to what this means.
this summer, i saw the effects of climate change firsthand in our northernmost state, alaska, where the sea is already swallowing villages and eroding shorelines; where permafrost thaws and the tundra burns; where glaciers are melting at a pace unprecedented in modern times. and it was a preview of one possible future – a glimpse of our children's fate if the climate keeps changing faster than our efforts to address it. submerged countries. abandoned cities. fields that no longer grow. political disruptions that trigger new conflict, and even more floods of desperate peoples seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own.
that future is not one of strong economies, nor is it one where fragile states can find their footing. that future is one that we have the power to change. right here. right now. but only if we rise to this moment. as one of america's governors has said, “we are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change, and the last generation that can do something about it.”
i've come here personally, as the leader of the world's largest economy and the second-largest emitter, to say that the united states of america not only recognizes our role in creating this problem, we embrace our responsibility to do something about it.
over the last seven years, we've made ambitious investments in clean energy, and ambitious reductions in our carbon emissions. we've multiplied wind power threefold, and solar power more than twentyfold, helping create parts of america where these clean power sources are finally cheaper than dirtier, conventional power. we've invested in energy efficiency in every way imaginable. we've said no to infrastructure that would pull high-carbon fossil fuels from the ground, and we've said yes to the first-ever set of national standards limiting the amount of carbon pollution our power plants can release into the sky.
the advances we've made have helped drive our economic output to all-time highs, and driveour carbon pollution to its lowest levels in nearly two decades.
but the good news is this is not an american trend alone. last year, the global economy grewwhile global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels stayed flat. and what this means can'tbe overstated. we have broken the old arguments for inaction. we have proved that strongeconomic growth and a safer environment no longer have to conflict with one another; theycan work in concert with one another.
and that should give us hope. one of the enemies that we'll be fighting at this conference iscynicism, the notion we can't do anything about climate change. our progress should give ushope during these two weeks – hope that is rooted in collective action.
earlier this month in dubai, after years of delay, the world agreed to work together to cut thesuper-pollutants known as hfcs. that's progress. already, prior to paris, more than 180countries representing nearly 95 percent of global emissions have put forward their ownclimate targets. that is progress. for our part, america is on track to reach the emissionstargets that i set six years ago in copenhagen – we will reduce our carbon emissions in therange of 17 percent below 2019 levels by 2020. and that's why, last year, i set a new target:america will reduce our emissions 26 to 28 percent below 2019 levels within 10 years from now.
so our task here in paris is to turn these achievements into an enduring framework forhuman progress – not a stopgap solution, but a long-term strategy that gives the worldconfidence in a low-carbon future.
here, in paris, let's secure an agreement that builds in ambition, where progress paves theway for regularly updated targets – targets that are not set for each of us but by each of us,taking into account the differences that each nation is facing.
here in paris, let's agree to a strong system of transparency that gives each of us theconfidence that all of us are meeting our commitments. and let's make sure that the countrieswho don't yet have the full capacity to report on their targets receive the support that theyneed.
here in paris, let's reaffirm our commitment that resources will be there for countries willingto do their part to skip the dirty phase of development. and i recognize this will not be easy.it will take a commitment to innovation and the capital to continue driving down the cost ofclean energy. and that's why, this afternoon, i'll join many of you to announce an historicjoint effort to accelerate public and private clean energy innovation on a global scale.
here in paris, let's also make sure that these resources flow to the countries that need helppreparing for the impacts of climate change that we can no longer avoid. we know the truththat many nations have contributed little to climate change but will be the first to feel its mostdestructive effects. for some, particularly island nations – whose leaders i'll meet withtomorrow – climate change is a threat to their very existence. and that's why today, in concertwith other nations, america confirms our strong and ongoing commitment to the leastdeveloped countries fund. and tomorrow, we'll pledge new contributions to risk insuranceinitiatives that help vulnerable populations rebuild stronger after climate-related disasters.
and finally, here in paris, let's show businesses and investors that the global economy is on afirm path towards a low-carbon future. if we put the right rules and incentives in place, we'llunleash the creative power of our best scientists and engineers and entrepreneurs to deployclean energy technologies and the new jobs and new opportunities that they create all aroundthe world. there are hundreds of billions of dollars ready to deploy to countries around theworld if they get the signal that we mean business this time. let's send that signal.
that's what we seek in these next two weeks. not simply an agreement to roll back thepollution we put into our skies, but an agreement that helps us lift people from povertywithout condemning the next generation to a planet that's beyond its capacity to repair. here,in paris, we can show the world what is possible when we come together, united in commoneffort and by a common purpose.
and let there be no doubt, the next generation is watching what we do. just over a week ago, iwas in malaysia, where i held a town hall with young people, and the first question i receivedwas from a young indonesian woman. and it wasn't about terrorism, it wasn't about theeconomy, it wasn't about human rights. it was about climate change. and she asked whether iwas optimistic about what we can achieve here in paris, and what young people like her coulddo to help.
i want our actions to show her that we're listening. i want our actions to be big enough to drawon the talents of all our people – men and women, rich and poor – i want to show herpassionate, idealistic young generation that we care about their future.
for i believe, in the words of dr. martin luther king, jr., that there is such a thing as being toolate. and when it comes to climate change, that hour is almost upon us. but if we act here, ifwe act now, if we place our own short-term interests behind the air that our young people willbreathe, and the food that they will eat, and the water that they will drink, and the hopes anddreams that sustain their lives, then we won't be too late for them.
and, my fellow leaders, accepting this challenge will not reward us with moments of victorythat are clear or quick. our progress will be measured differently – in the suffering that isaverted, and a planet that's preserved. and that's what's always made this so hard. ourgeneration may not even live to see the full realization of what we do here. but the knowledgethat the next generation will be better off for what we do here – can we imagine a more worthyreward than that? passing that on to our children and our grandchildren, so that when they lookback and they see what we did here in paris, they can take pride in our achievement.
let that be the common purpose here in paris. a world that is worthy of our children. a worldthat is marked not by conflict, but by cooperation; and not by human suffering, but byhuman progress. a world that's safer, and more prosperous, and more secure, and more freethan the one that we inherited.
let's get to work. thank you very much.
第4篇 国际电联秘书长图埃博士在2019年世界电信大会英语演讲稿
it is a great pleasure to be with you here in dubai today. let me offer my sincere thanks andappreciation to the united arab emirates for all its efforts in the excellent organization andfacilities for this conference. i would like to express my thanks to the local authorities of dubaifor their very kind hospitality.
ladies and gentlemen,
i think we are all well aware of the importance of this sixth wtdc, and i am encouraged to seesuch a high level of participation.
what we decide and define here over the next two weeks will shape not just the future of ictdevelopment over the next four years, but the future shape of the very world we live in.
in today’s fast-moving ict sector, four years is a very long time. to see how long that really is,let’s look back to 2019, when we last held the wtdc, in hyderabad, india.
since then the ict landscape has changed in extraordinary and unexpected ways.
we have seen the number of fixed-line subscriptions continue to fall, and there are now around82 million fewer fixed-line subscriptions than there were at the beginning of 2019.
this fall in fixed lines has been massively more than compensated for by mobile growth over thesame period – with net additions of almost 2.2 billion mobile cellular subscriptions since thebeginning of 2019.
and the great news for this conference is that almost all of this growth has been in thedeveloping world, which accounted for 90% of the net additions – very close to two billion newmobile cellular subscriptions have been added in the past four years.
the same pattern is true of the growth in internet users, where 817 million of the one billionnew internet users over the past four years have come from the developing world.
we have also seen social media continue to skyrocket. when we met in hyderabad, four yearsago, there were around 30 million users of twitter, and 400 million users of facebook. todayhundreds of millions of tweets are sent every day, and facebook has over 1.2 billion users.
does that mean our job is finished?
of course not!
and that’s why we’re all here.
while over three quarters of people in the developed world now have access to the internet,more than two thirds of people in the developing world still do not.
in the developed world, fixed and mobile broadband penetration rates at the beginning of 2019stood at 27.2% and 74.8% respectively. in the developing world, they stood at 6.1% and19.8%.
distinguished delegates,
these are powerful numbers, but they also demonstrate the extraordinary opportunities thatlie ahead.
icts – and in particular broadband networks – offer perhaps the greatest opportunity wehave ever had to make rapid and profound advances in global social and economicdevelopment.
this is of tremendous and timely importance, as we approach the cusp between the mdgsnext year, and the beginning of the post-2019 development process.
and this of course is why ‘broadband for sustainable development’ has been chosen as thetheme for wtdc this year.
like you, i am convinced that by extending access to broadband, countries will quicklyaccelerate sustainable social and economic progress.
by delivering efficiencies across so many areas – from education and healthcare totransportation, water and energy – broadband networks can quickly pay for themselves,creating a virtuous circle of investment, productivity and human development.
to help world leaders see the ways that broadband can accelerate the achievement of themdgs, itu and unesco launched the broadband commission for digital development in 2019,just a few weeks before we last met, in hyderabad.
in this context, and in the context of this conference, it is especially gratifying to seebroadband access growing so rapidly in the developing world – with penetration in thedeveloping world in terms of mobile broadband growing an incredible 50% between thebeginning of 2019 and the beginning of 2019.
ladies and gentlemen,
i am an optimist, and i have tremendous faith that the public and private sectors will worktogether to invest in, and to roll-out, the necessary infrastructure.
they did this so well in the creation of mobile cellular networks in the developing world, and iexpect to see the pattern continued for broadband.
i am also convinced that in partnership, they will also help create the necessary services thatpeople need, and that we will quickly see enriched content developed and created that will startoff a virtuous circle in stimulating demand.
as this happens, we will rapidly see broadband reach the remotest corners of our planet.
we must make sure that we do not just bring broadband to the people, but that we do soresponsibly. that we preserve cyberpeace and deliver cybersecurity in a world that is alwaysconnected, and always online.
distinguished delegates,
the output from this conference will be fed into the itu strategic plan which will be endorsedby the itu’s plenipotentiary conference in korea in october.
and i hope that many of you will be there to help shape our future as an organization – and tomake sure we adopt a sound strategic and financial plan for the next four years.
so over the next two weeks, let’s dream big!
let’s think about how technological advances might shape the future;
let’s think about what can be done with massive increases in computational power and ever-cheaper memory;
let’s think about what can we do with the cloud, to make the world a better place;
and let’s think about how can we put ever-smarter, ever-more affordable smartphones to useacross the developing world.
let’s be bold!
let’s work together to develop the programmes and projects that will ensure icts really dodeliver a better quality of life – for all the world’s people!
thank you.
