The minister is due to deliver Egypt’s address to the event Tuesday and meet with international figures taking part in the conference which is attended by ICT Ministers, senior officials, and representatives from the Member States.
The ICT Minister will deliver a speech during the Policy Statements sessions, through which he will review the most significant ICT developments, as well as the plans and programs implemented in Egypt, which meet ITU global trends, in cooperation with the Member States to foster ICT development globally.
The ministers who take part in the event will discuss the most significant international communication developments and means to enhance cooperation in ICTs.
The Plenipotentiary Conference is the highest policy-making body of the ITU. Held every four years, ITU PP is the key event at which ITU Member States decide on the future role of the organization, thereby determining the organization’s ability to influence and affect the development of ICTs worldwide.
