 Welcome to the World Radio Communication Conference 2023, WRC-23 being held in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. I've got the great pleasure of being joined in the studio this morning by the WRC-23 chair, his Excellency, engineer Mohammed Al Ramzi, and I would like to welcome you to the studio and thank you for your kind hospitality. Thank you Max and I'm very happy to be with you here in the studio and looking forward for this interview. The TDRA, the regulatory authority in which of course you are heavily involved with, is no stranger to ITU conferences, WRC-23 being the latest in a long line of very successful events. I wanted to ask you, how does hosting events such as this benefit the UAE? Yes, yes indeed actually we take pride of being the sole nation that hosted and chaired all ITU conferences. How this benefiting UAE? Actually it benefits UAE in so many ways. First we want to establish UAE as an ICT hub, an ICT destination worldwide. So by hosting these events you are making UAE known in the international arena that it is an ICT destination or ICT hub. Second we see ITU as an ample or the main enabler for ICT worldwide. They have a lot of objectives that we think UAE that are very important which is serve humanity and connected, which is one of our objectives as well. So we want to support ITU in many ways and one of them is to host the ITU events. Other than this also we have benefits because when we host this conference of ITU conference here in UAE we make friends with the friendly nations, we make alliances, we develop our skills and workforce and we want actually UAE to play an active part in international diplomacy and international arena. We think it is very important that we bring competition between the region and hosting events. So we have in 2026 our brothers in Qatar will host a play potentiary conference. I believe they will do a marvelous and excellent job in hosting this event. So by all of this you see that we are guiding the region to being ICT hub. This is the whole idea behind it. And not only that but there's also COP28 which is starting very shortly as well. So it's really the focus of the world is on the UAE right now. Can I ask you to tell us a little bit about UAE's 2031 vision and how it relates to WRC-23? Okay the UAE 2031 vision is actually it is a national road map towards growth. Growth in social, socially, economically, investment and development. And the vision of UAE 2031 it has four pillars. First one is forward society, then forward economy, forward diplomacy and forward ecosystem. If you see the four pillars and you see on the other hand the outcome of WRC, you will see that the outcome of WRC is update radio regulation which will enhance and develop technology and ICT. It will deliver the services in very convenient way to all people. It will develop digital cities, IOTs, so many services. And all those services actually are enabler for the four pillars. You will see the connection ICT is enabler for our four pillars. And WRC and taking radio specifically will be the main driver for such development. Excellent. And is there anything that you would like to add? Is there a message that you would like to convey to the participants here in Dubai as well as around the globe? Well, all the participants here in Dubai in this conference, each one of them play a vital role in the success of this conference. If we take our objectives, we have currently 2.6 billion unconnected people worldwide. And WRC somehow can reduce this number in an extensive way. So each participant, if he put this objective in mind and works in this conference to watch this, it was this achievement, we all will benefit from the outcome of this conference. And this is really my goal to have it out of this conference. Mr. Bahami Dhan Ramzi, thank you so much for joining us in the studio.
