 Welcome to the ITU studio. We are in the World Telecommunications Development Conference in Kigali. We have the pleasure to welcome in our studio Honorable Minister Emma Inamotila Teofelus of Namibia, the Deputy Minister of Information and Communication and Technology. Welcome in our studio. Thank you so much. Can you please tell us more about Podno II Connect pledge? Yes. So the Republic of Namibia has pledged two pledges. One specifically around Universal Service Access Fund. We have in our communications act a provision for the Access Fund to in some way like the thing to connect the unconnected. And we through that pledge have ensured that once it's established we'll be able to roll out infrastructure, especially where secondary and vocational schools is concerned. We want to build 122 towers for the rural areas. We also want to ensure Wi-Fi connectivity to our secondary schools and therefore the ability of gadgets for young people to be able to buy a phone, a tablet, a laptop to be able to connect. And then the second pledge is around cybersecurity. As you know more and more people go on the internet, there's securities of a concern. And this is why we would like to establish and set up a cybersecurity incidence response team to protect our national infrastructure. So it will be a national one, not only specific to a certain sector such as telecommunications or finance. We want to expand it to electricity and energy, water infrastructure, food security. And those are really the pledges we have committed to as a government of the Republic of Namibia. Thank you very much. How can Podno II Connect help advance connectivity and connect the unconnected as the theme of the World Telecommunication Development Conference? Well, I think the first is actually meeting up like this and comparing notes. Many countries are doing really innovative ways in how to connect schools, clinics, hospitals, critical infrastructure to ensure they're connected and that they're able to get the services to the people, which is really the end game for all of us as governments. The people are our bottom line. And for us to all realize the digital future, we need to interact, we need to collaborate. And this is where Private Sector comes in. And this part of the Connect Roundtable Development Forum is just that working towards connectivity, using public and private partners, working together, collaborating to connect the unconnected. And what are your impressions like for this conference? I think it's a very good platform. This is my first WTDC and of course my first partner to connect. Of course, there are considerations that this conference has come to Africa in its eighth time and which is very critical because Africa, although is the cradle of humanity, it has birthed all of us in some way as a human race, it's still the youngest when it comes to digital technology. And this is significant in that we need to make strides to make Africa catch up with the rest of the world. And this is why my thoughts on the conference so far. Thank you very much. Do you have any specific message from those people watching us from Namibia? Absolutely. I want the Namibians to know that government is committed to ensuring that we connect everybody and that we leave nobody behind. We want equitable access for those in urban areas, rural areas, young and old to connect to our digital future because truly our future depends on it. Thank you. Thank you very much for your time.
