 Thank you, dear Mr. Chair, Secretary-General of ITU, Excellencies, ITU family, ladies and gentlemen. It's my great pleasure and honor to be here on the Plenipotentially Conference of ITU and on behalf of the Government of Georgia, I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to the Government of Romania for one welcome and for excellent organization of this very important conference. As a matter of fact, we are living in a digital world and information era, where the access to the Internet becomes one of the unseparable part of our daily lives. The right to access to the Internet is one of the main priority of the Government of Georgia and it is guaranteed by the Constitution of Georgia. The Internet is recognized as one of the most powerful instruments for accessing information and facilitating active citizen partnership and participation in building of democratic society. Bridging the digital divide is one of the main challenges worldwide. In recent years, Georgia took active steps to accelerate the development of digital economy and the formation society as well as innovation, drive and economy. In order to maintain and increase the piece of development of digital economy and the formation society in Georgia, the national development development strategy and its implementation action plan for 2020-2025 was adopted by the Government of Georgia. The key objectives of this mentioned strategy are fully in line with the European Union's Gigabit Society objectives for 2025, five and are oriented to increase competitive pressures, attract investment, build the digital skills and demand. To host the regional digital hub in Georgia is one of our strategical priorities as well. All above activities will contribute to achieve the strategic goals of the ITU such as universal connectivity and sustainable digital transformation etc. Ladies and gentlemen, last but not least, I would like to draw your attention to the regretful fact that the Government of Georgia is deprived of the possibility to exercise its de facto jurisdiction over the entire territory of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders among them in the sector of the telecommunications and information technologies as a result of continuous military aggression against Georgia and the illegal occupation of the Georgia's inseparable parts of Abkhazia and Tsymali region, South Ossetia by the Russian Federation, which of other continues the blatant violation of the fundamental principles and norms of the international law, Helsinki final act, the UN Charter and UN Security Council resolutions. Any action be and or in illegally occupied regions of Georgia in the sector of telecommunications and information technologies can be carried out only in full respect the constitutions and legislation of Georgia, the acts of the international telecommunication union and fundamental principles and norms of the international law. All other cases represents illegal actions and violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia. The international community must stand together and stand strong in support of the principles of sovereignty and quality of states and inviolability of their internationally recognized borders and Georgia of course follows the north and principles of the ITU convention, constitution and regulations and is ready to continue the close collaboration with the ITU family for further development of ICTs. In conclusion I would like to thank the entire ITU team for this perfect work performed and I would like to wish all of you successes in your further activities. Thank you.
