Good afternoon. Dear guests and friends, it's an amazing pleasure for me, an honour to stand in front of you today. Seeing so many familiar faces from when we started our work together three years ago. A few days ago, I had a conversation with my doctors that finally let me come here and stop my physiotherapy exercises for a few days because I wanted to be here with you this week in Beijing.

The first reason I wanted to be here is to say thank you. A huge thank you to all of you here in the first rows, but also in the audience and beyond, online. Thank you for your trust—the trust that you have placed in the work that the ISSB, myself, the two Vice-Chairs and board members and our staff at the IFRS Foundation have done to deliver the ISSB Standards. That trust was evidenced last week when we issued the inaugural jurisdictional profiles and snapshots for 33 jurisdictions around the world that have put their trust—your trust—in our work. You have adopted or decided to otherwise use the Standards to ensure the proper and resilient functioning of capital markets, of economies, of foreign direct investment and of trade for your jurisdictions.
