AIA Taiwan’s Post

Transcript

Walking in the lobby, you feel the the openness, the welcome, the incredible space and design, and you appreciate that this is the return of our ancestral home, and I think it's incredibly powerful. I'm amazed by the architecture and the way the spaces are laid out, which are really super welcoming and conducive. From top to bottom, it's an incredible experience. It's modern architecture, but blending in the the history of AIA. So to get this combination exactly right is really an accomplishment. Please welcome Lee and Song, our group President and chief executive. I'm delighted to welcome you all to the AI Building, our newly redeveloped group headquarters. This is a significant milestone for AIA, first opened in 1969. The eye building here One Stops Rd. has been a long standing symbol of our heritage. The entire building is the city's first urban campus and it's a brand new home in Hong Kong from which we will continue to innovate and lead our industry. Marvelous building a lot of investment in Hong Kong's contributions to our GDP. Those underscores AI's confidence in our long term future. It now gives me great pleasure to invite a group chairman, Edmund C, to share his thoughts with us. Edmund. After more than 50 years. I still clearly remember my excitement at opening of the original building here on State Road. One thing was remained constant for the tremendous pride I have. In all that AIA has achieved, I'm genuinely moved. I worked with two and everything we stand for. Particularly our Peppers to help people live healthier, longer, better lives lies wells within me even more as we gathered for the grand opening of our new headquarters. The AIA building continues our legacy of innovation and relentless progress on a solid foundation. Well, I think it's amazing. It's absolutely brilliant. You know why I really like it is that when you walk in, it feels like it's built for the people who use the building. Is it the basketball court? Is it the facial recognition? Is it the the light that pours in here? And of course, the the canteen, the running track, everything. It just feels like. It's coming home as we are coming home. Yeah, I know that the building will be great, but this is better than great and all. It's like amazing, really amazing. Such a key mouse. I'm really proud. It's more than I expected and it's delivered on its promise. The excitement here today at the opening ceremony, all the visitors coming in, fabulous building, fabulous event. Beyond beyond what we expected. I think it's been an absolutely brilliant day.
