 نحن نحن here two years ago for the World Telecommunication Development Conference, WTGC. You may remember that we raised important issues about the universal access, emerging technology, reforms of telecom sectors, government role in ICT and telecom development. هذه المتواجدات تبدو باستخدام الحقيقة المتواجدة التي بدأت to be implemented in many regions. Thank you for ITU-D and thank you for Mr. Sami to lead this effort. The WTGC6 Conference established what has become known as the Doha Action Plan and inspired the formal creation of ITU-Question 2021 in securing information and communication networks. This is a practice for developing a culture of cyber security. This issue of cyber security is of a pressing urgency to every nation, as ICT becomes more and more integral in our life. In our businesses, in our homes, schools and hospitals became increasingly vulnerable. Disruption can potentially shut down a critical system and cause untold millions of dollars. We recently saw firsthand just how vulnerable our internet connections are. Two weeks ago, our internet connectivity was reduced due to the loss of four undersea-fiber optic cables. Two of them, the Mediterranean coast of Egypt and two in the other kingdom. The cuts, the threat of Egypt's connections outside the country by 70%, hampering international banks and restricted iterating in the country's stock market. India, whose huge outsourcing industry depend on the internet, lost half of its capacity when this happened. This incident demonstrated the importance of protecting the system that has become the life of blood of our modern society. The interruption of fundamental services can be extremely disrupted, but the potential exists for worse. And disruption occurs militarily. Imagine the result can be potentially life threatening. Imagine that without notice, you are suddenly without a bread and you are unable to buy the troll or any other necessity as happened to our friends in Estonia. This incident saved as a wake-up call to government everywhere. The need to improve security and reliability of our critical information infrastructure. Improving our security at every level is perhaps one of the biggest and most difficult problems of our time. I am encouraged by the presence of all of you here for this important set of meetings and challenge you to give this effort. At this point, we must succeed as the consequence of failure are too horrible to imagine. I wish you the best of luck for your work in the coming days and look forward with great interest to your recommendation. Thank you.
