 Mr. President of the Conference, Chairman, Mr. General Secretary of the International Union of Telecommunication, Honorary Ministers, Director of the International Union of Telecommunication Departments, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am deeply honored and delighted to participate in this World Telecommunication Development Conference, which is held in the beautiful city of Dubai. On behalf of myself and the Algerian delegation, I would like to sincerely thank the authorities of the United Arab Emirates and the people of this broader country to their warm welcome and for the exceptional support and coordination that has gone into facilitating this conference. Since its accession to the International Telecommunication Union, Algeria has had continued interest in its work and has always supported approved international standards and recommendations, such as those provided by the ITU in order to design and implement its telecommunications networks infrastructures. In the year 2000, the Algerian Post and Telecommunications sector underwent a significant reform. This reform spurred the enactment of a new law, which defines general rules and postal services and telecommunications. Today, the result of this reform has led to a creation of a fully open market, which has come to embrace the significant introduction of new information and communication technologies. This reform reflects the winglingness and commitment of my country to establish an inclusive information society and to build a digital economy based on knowledge. It is important for Algeria to be part of international institutions for studies and standardization such as the ITU, that is why Algeria has been and remains a willing participant in events organized by the ITU. Algeria continues also to make a positive contribution to the initiatives taken by the ITU's development office, notably to the research and studies performed by this office. It has also been a great honor for Algeria to serve as chair for the second study commission starting from the WTDC-10 and to contribute to the works of the ITU Council's groups responsible for the child online protection and cyber security. The action plan that will be adopted during the Dubai 2014 conference will guide the future activities of the ITU's development office for the next four years. Within this context and among notable contributions that will be presented by my country, I would like to call out a resolution on each trust and an amendment to a resolution for the use of ICTS for disaster management. An environment of electronic trust that goes beyond country borders must be guaranteed. The digital identification for the parties involved for these transactions is a prerequisite for their generalization. Furthermore, it has become a necessity to standardize the use of ICTS for emergency and disaster management such as those coping with climate change in order to provide targeted assistance to the least developed countries and countries with specific challenges. There are also some other questions that retain our attention like the system and equipment conformity and interoperability that should be examined and the issue concerning the benefits of using ICTS to enhance safety routes. To conclude, in view of the various upcoming events organized by the ITU at both local and regional levels, Algeria stands ready to lend its support to the various sectors of the ITU. Great success to the World Telecommunication Development Conference 2014. Thank you kindly for your attention.
