My dear friends, colleagues and guests in this room, welcome to the International Sustainability Conference here in Beijing . It’s my great pleasure to be with you all. So many familiar faces that we see all around the world, as well as here in Beijing, gathered again to discuss the progress of our collective endeavour.

I would like to thank Director General Lin from the Ministry of Finance here in China for his continued attendance and interest in this conference, and I look forward to his own introductory remarks. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all supporting organisations: the Multilateral Cooperation Center for Development Finance, the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, the China Construction Bank and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. In particular, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Multilateral Cooperation Center for Development Finance for its work. It is thanks to your contribution and dedication that we have been able to create such an open, practical and productive platform.
