I always like to be an intruder, but I couldn't help it. And I have to say it quite clearly, the only incentive that got me to adventure without being prepared for saying a few words here is I wanted to become part of the adventurers behind you here, the female. They're not only adventurers, they're also going to be the inspirers for others to come. So we need more of that. We're. I'm part of a. I am a part of an ecosystem called the energy ecosystem. And indeed I always call myself I am part of. Because I'm. I really truly believe that I am, as I was saying at a different occasion this morning in Aramco, I am one amongst equal. Because I wouldn't be here and at this stage looking at you, if there was not the amount of willing people, dedicated people that went, underwent all the tiring efforts of learning, educating, training and going through the traveling of distance. The distance that they take in their daily routine to come to their jobs, to try to attend to their goals and their objectives is just a distant from one place to the other at that distance will take them to the bigger distance and more important, which we all owe to our country, that our accumulative distant making will bring our country to achieving its own goals, objectives.

And, and there is a merit for that. Because Vision 2030 is no longer the vision of the custodian of the two holy mosques, King Salman. And indeed, as I believe that he believes also, it is no longer the vision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prime Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This vision is ours. We all worked hard in bringing it together and now we are working hard to make it happen. And the difference which I see it in front of me here and that we need to recognize it is look at us. We no longer talk about the men. Our vocabulary has changed. We use the word persons because we are and we have lived a time when 50% of our engine was not operative. And now we are because we are in a facility that understand efficiency of engines and how terrible it is to see an engine that is operating with half capacity. This society of ours now is operating with full capacity. But this capacity is going to continue increasing because more younger people would be coming and more females will be coming and more adventurous trips will be created simply because we, the elderly, the Alzheimer's, have the ability to have that ambitions. But our ambitions are scrutinized by the life we had in the past.

So I for one. I want to speak about others. I'm only achieving what I thought I would have loved to achieve 20 years ago, 30 years ago. And that's not enough. What is important is for those who would lead should live what they want to achieve in the next 10 years, 20 years and 30 years. I am recovering from my legacy. People should not celebrate recovering from legacies. People should celebrate achieving what they have dreamt to deliver for their own sake, for their own families and certainly for their own country. Today is one of my best days simply because I was in Tehran being celebrating what I really believed that we should do. But it took me 30 years and 20 years and what have you of dreaming of wanting to achieve that the difference between the past and now that those guys behind you, they don't have to dream about doing things. They have to imagine what they will be doing and shall be doing. Thank you.
