 Welcome to the ITU studio in Geneva. I'm very pleased to be joined on the occasion of the World Telecommunication and ICT Indicator Symposium by Ms. Nagwa El-Shanawi, who is the Undersecretary for Information and Decision Support for the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology of Egypt. Welcome to the studio. Thanks a lot, Max. Very nice to see you again. Nice to see you again. Now I wanted to ask you, what is the current status of the ICT sector in Egypt? Yes, this is a very big question. Current status of ICT sector in Egypt already started its plan for the digital transformation. And this plan is already implemented by MCIT in cooperation with the different stakeholders in the country, government stakeholders, as well as the private sector stakeholders. Now we started with the education sector. We have now a strategy to integrate the ICT in the schools in our country. We already also have a very promising program for the healthcare sector as well. We have another one for the culture. So ICT really, by starting the digital transformation, this will make a difference for the country during the next couple of years. Now at this symposium we've heard about the importance of ICT skills for social and economic development. How is Egypt addressing the issue of ICT skills and what more do you think governments and other relevant stakeholders can do to promote the acquisition of relevant digital skills? Actually, one of the main pillars of the new strategy of the ICT, which is already launched in the last months by the Minister of Communication Information Technology, is building the digital skills in the country. This is not only for helping and supporting the digital transformation, but as well as for the competitiveness worldwide. So we need the Egyptian to maintain the digital skills in order to compete not only in the local market but as well as in the international market. So there are programs for using and deploying the different digital technology like IoT, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data. All these programs already started in the country and there is lots of support from the ministry and from the high level seniority of the Egyptian government. There is support for building the digital skills for all the country even for the kids, starting from the kids in the schools until the graduates after they finish the universities. Now, we've heard a lot of fascinating interaction here at the symposium. What outcomes would you like to come from this symposium, in particular in terms of ICT skills for the future? For the symposium really every year I found it's become more and more impressive and more and more coming out with fruitful outcome. For the policymaker, for the indicator measurement, I guess also the importance is to combine what we have from this symposium in the expert group to start immediately to collect and to follow up what we already agreed upon in the symposium in the two expert groups which is ECTI and EGH, the two also successful expert groups created by the ITU to helping the measurement and to helping to collect the data from the different member states about the ICT and about the digital transformation and the digital skills as well. Because the more we know, the more we can do about it. Definitely. Well, thank you so much for joining us in the studio and we hope to catch up with you again in the very near future. Thank you so much and congratulations for the symposium and congratulations for your excellent work as usual. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
