 Welcome to the ITU studio in Geneva where we're conducting a series of interviews head of WTPF 21 which is the sixth world telecommunication ICT Policy Forum which is going to be held here in Geneva between the 16th and 18th of December 2021. I'm very pleased to be joined in the studio today by Mr Fabio Bigi who is the chair of the informal experts group on WTPF 2021. Mr Bigi welcome to the ITU studio. Thanks for the invitation ready to respond to your question. First of all I wanted to ask you can you tell us a little bit about the WTPF preparatory process how does it work and what are the key issues on the agenda? So as you very likely are aware the WTPF 21 has been agreed by the pre-potentially conference in 18 with resolution number two and the theme for the Policy Forum has been agreed by the council in with decision 611 and in 19 since then the the world's calling for experts I was nominated chairman and it was a call for expert from various members and we have quite a good team I have to say of expert together to draft the secondary general report and the text of the opinion to be presented at the Policy Forum. At present we are held in our last meeting and for the time being we have finalized more or less the report of the general secretary to be presented at the forum and the possible five draft opinion. How can new and emerging technologies like AI 5G and the Internet of Things facilitate sustainable development and what actions can governments take to drive this? As I said there are five draft opinion all deal with this aspect and particularly the aspect of the role of established rule and made mode of utilization of different technology in order to avoid discrepancy to avoid possible problems and things like that so all that is coming together to formalize and the role of new technologies essentially in this world changing world and this improving facility necessary for our normal life and this is particular for developing country where to have to go come to same level of connectivity and the same level of mutual understanding. Now this year Italy holds the presidency of the G20 in your role as informal expert group chair what are some of the commonalities in the priorities and the discussions? I have to say the final press release for my ministry of economic development has stated the accent on the digital economy and new technology and impact on the human being so there are the team treated the world more or less very close to that of the policy forum will treat and we I hope that will assist help also in making the final conclusion I found the final press release very useful. And finally what is your one key message to those taking part of WTPF 21 what makes this WTPF special and why should people attend? The people should attend because they set the future of the communication ICT and the scenario for future world and past experience the recent experience with the pandemic situation has indicated us how important our telecommunication ICT in this present world the world will continue to work thanks to them and improvement in this facility is essential to keep on going. What I the message is to the policy forum participant first you should attend either level to make a decision globally valid. Secondly make the normal practice of like you to have consensus to reach agreement to reach solution because the world want to have solution not problems.
