And I especially want to congratulate the women entrepreneurs here with us today. Thank you.This year’s summit is focused on a theme that is key to our future: Women first, prosperity for all.Mandy Nguyen, from Vietnam says she appreciates the focus on women.In some traditional cultures in Asia, people expect women to be like, just at home and not expressing themselves in a way that they deserve to be,so for us with this focus is make people understand more about the potentials and the capabilities of woman.
我今天特别要向在座的女企业家们表示祝贺。谢谢你。今年的峰会主题与我们未来息息相关：女性优先，人人繁荣。来自越南的Mandy Nguyen说她很欣赏本次关注女性的主题。在亚洲的一些传统文化中，人们期望女性顾家，使她们不能以她们应有的方式来表达自己，因此，我们关注的焦点是让女性的潜力和能力更大程度的为人所知。

In the coming days, attendees will dig into such topics as technology and finance, digital entertainment and agriculture.They will also soak up the summit’s larger message that entrepreneurship can be a vehicle to empower people to change their communities.
未来几天，与会者将深入探讨技术和金融、数字娱乐和农业等议题。他们还将更大程度的吸收峰会上的信息，即企业家精神可以成为赋予人们改变居住环境的手段。
