 Welcome to WSIS Forum 2018. I am very pleased to be joined by Mr. Majid Sultan Al-Mesmal of the UAE, your deputy director general of the telecommunication sector, the telecommunications regulatory authority, the TRA in the Emirates. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for having me here. And you are obviously also chairman of WSIS Forum 2018 and the UAE sponsors this year. So tell us about your involvement with WSIS Forum. The United Arab Emirates has been involved with the WSIS for several years and that's because we do believe in the WSIS. It's a forum or a platform that really involves different stake, multi-stake holders. And the good part of it is now it's linked with the sustainable development goals. And we've been seeing so many initiatives out of the WSIS action lines that they've been already implemented. And the common thing is it reflects the importance of the ICT role in implementing and achieving the goals. And that's very important thing. I come from the ICT sector as a regulator and I used to even work in the telecommunication and in operators. And I know what it means to have a real solid infrastructure in any countries. It really, it is the transformation from conventional to smart to electronic and smart transformation. In which way services being offered earlier, it can be offered much easier, faster, more efficient. And that's because of what? Because of the ICT. And of course the UAE have always seen ICT as a powerful tool for development. The UAE is an innovation hub on a global scale. And you have been at the forefront of efforts to create an e-government society that works for everyone. Yes. If we just go back in 1998 where the first decision of our leadership is that this is the time to move or transform from conventional government to e-government. And that immediately happened. A law was issued and there was I think the e-commerce law to legitimize the online transactions and to give confidence to the people. The entities within the government start having their services available on websites. In 2013 again our leadership have decided that now this is the time to move to smart government and that shifting the way or changing the way how the government offering the service. And wanted the government to be like Hotel Star Hotel offering the service at all times open throughout the year. The government should be offering its services to all its customers at all the time 24 hours 365 days a year. And that it helps a lot in speeding up reducing queues. The customer can do the transaction from the tip of his phone. That's something amazing. In 2015 when the UN approved the sustainable development goals UAE was among the first countries to align its plans strategies with that. And we have taken apart in which we have taken apart in which the word sustainability was very peculiar for us in such a way that's very important and we need to think about it. What are we going to do in the future? As you know the UAE is an oil producer country and but that will not last forever. Again our leadership have said we want to celebrate when the day we reduce the last barrel of oil. To do that we have to have alternative source of income. And what is the oil of the next century? That's the big data. It's the data. How are we going to make use of it? Big data the easiest way is to have the artificial intelligence that will help you to really analyze and come up with new products that will really be more or less like the oil today. And you could say this is not plan B, this is going to be plan B and C and D. Mr. Al-Mesmer, thank you very much. Thank you.
