Colleagues, as we explore different options and solutions to fuel our economic growth, we believe hydrogen will be an important part of the solutions in the global energy mix and host. And we would like to as I proposed yesterday, and I would like to propose today, that Saudi Arabia is willing to host a conference and exhibition for all governments interested in hydrogen, all companies are involved in the entire value chain including the offtakers, all technology developers that are engaged in one way or other in that value chain, including thinktanks with a view that we are to start that effort and hopefully that continue that effort in a collective manner, whereby we hope that things will become much more clearer, when it comes to we can go from A to Z, when it comes to hydrogen with all the necessary requirements to enable people to say we have the producers, we have the technologies, we have the offtakers, and we have the demand for that hydrogen to evolve and evolve. And we should be also calling it clean hydrogen, green hydrogen, whatever it is, it has to be commensurate with our quest which is to reducing emissions and reducing as fast as we can. Thank you!
