 Welcome to the World Telecommunication Development Conference, WTDC here in Kigali, Rwanda, where I've got the great pleasure of being joined in the studio today by Mr John Omo, who is Secretary-General of the African Telecommunication Union. John, welcome to the studio. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'd like to start off by asking you a little bit about your experience here as Secretary-General of the regional ICT body here. What can you say was Africa's experience of the first ever WTDC held in the continent after the formation of the telecommunication development sector? Thank you very much. In the history of the sector, we have not had, as we did this year, the first ever youth summit. Being a first one for a faster WTDC in Africa is a tremendous experience for this continent. I think the youth have told us what they want. They want to be engaged. They want to be involved. They don't want to be receivers of what we tell them, but to be engaged in the day-to-day access issues for ICT and to use ICT for their development look for opportunities. And so that, for me, has been the single most outstanding experience in this WTDC, that the youth of the world have told us that they need to be involved at every level of decision-making process for ICT development. There was the Generation Connect Youth Summit that was held here at the first one, which was another venue just up the road here. And there they had a great deal of conversations looking at the future. They said, we are the future. We don't just want to inherit it, we are the future. And then they came to the WTDC to tell us exactly what they wanted. But we've heard all sorts of other conversations here as well, and we've had a lot of great deal of energy and of enthusiasm for telecommunications. I wanted to ask you what have been the major gains, do you think, for the continent and what will be some of the outcomes that you hope to come from WTDC 22? Thank you very much. Let me start with the partner to connect, which is also a fast for Africa, WTDC in Africa. I think we've been able to galvanize the international community to see the development needs of the continent through the partner to connect program. And not just for Africa, but for other parts of the world. And the ability or the opportunity that has been created by bringing organizations in a partnership forum to work towards accessibility has been quite an experience. Now, for the African group, we are working towards setting developments at this conference that we'd like to see coming from the Youth Conference, the Youth Summit. I think the issue of access, the issue of cyber security, the issue of keeping our youth, our kids, ourselves safe online came out very well. And so the opportunity to dialogue with the international community and agree to the fact that cyber security issues, safety online, primary considerations to be given to our ICT development is something that we are really, really looking forward to see. We also have had certain proposals to this conference to do with access. And we do hope, and the conference is soon coming to an end, and I see that there's tremendous partnerships towards agreeing on that particular resolution to do with connectivity, to do with access to both the systems and services for the continent. And I really look forward to the conference adopting that particular resolution. And when all is said and done, when everything is finished and they're clearing up after us here, what you hope will be the results and what you hope for the future in terms of the ICT sector here in the region and, of course, as a legacy of this conference? I think the opportunity to do that which we say and say that which we do is one that I'm really looking forward to. We've had previous conferences where you come out with nice resolutions, nice decisions, nice declarations, which are basically good to have, but you can't audit whether, you know, empirically whether they've been realized. And so the opportunity to dialogue with the rest of the world and see that, going forward, we are able to audit, we are able to monitor and implement that which we have agreed in terms of objectives, in terms of set targets is really something that I'm looking forward to, because next at WTDC, we should be able to say the commitments that were made and a partner to connect. The call by the youth, what have we been able to realize? There are sort of resolutions or decisions that we've made. How have we galvanized resources in order to implement those decisions? So the opportunity to come back in three years in any WTDC and say, yes, this is what we had in Kigali in terms of our planning and this is what we have achieved would be tremendous for me. John Omer, a pleasure to have you in the studio again, as always, and I look forward to catching up with you again very soon indeed. Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, my pleasure.
