Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our 2021 interim results presentation. We hope that you and your families are safe and well. I want to start by thanking AIA's outstanding people for their dedication and professionalism, helping our customers navigate uncertainty with uninterrupted support while embracing new ways of working.
