 Your Excellencies, Mr. Chairman, Dr. Thury, Mr. Pazawu, elected member of ITU, ladies and gentlemen, allowed me to say some words in English before shifting to French, just to say my deepest gratitude to the government of United Arab Emirates for the warm welcome we received from our rival here in Dubai for all my delegation and our luck also to express my deepest gratitude to ITU, through the Secretary General, Dr. Hamadoun Thury, and congratulate the perfect organization of this event here in the beautiful city of Dubai. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, as you know, Djibouti, due to its geographical position, is an important platform and an international transit hub in terms of maritime transport. It is the link between Asia, Africa and the East. As a Djiboutian, I can not make a political declaration of the IT sector here in Dubai without making a vibrant tribute to the exemplary partnership established between Dubai and Djibouti in June 2000. This has been the starting point of the economic growth of our country and the real launch of the phenomenal development that has been known deep in the Port and Logistics sector. I would like to reaffirm here and now that our current goal is to make Djibouti a platform in terms of communication and technology. We know that we can. We can because we have high-level infrastructure. We have an exceptional comparative advantage, a unique strategic position and high-level infrastructure. And we want to succeed. We have, in this title, developed a strategic path of sector development that will allow, in the end, a better contribution of the IT sector to the evolution of our economic and social future. This program mainly supports the maintenance of mobility choices, access to high-level buildings, the search for a scientific and industrial partnership with the private sector, the adoption of regulatory measures and an incentive for the private initiative. Here is our vision. This vision is in conclusion with components that are particularly contributing to the development of growth in the IT sector, the implementation of the IT sector, the institutional framework, and above all, the implementation of a vision called Djibouti Digital. Beyond these three great components, there are structural projects that we are able to emerge in our country. I have listed the development of human resources, the development of the use of applications and the implementation of institutional rules and the IT sector. In this conference, you will be especially interested in a broad debate on the question of sector restructuring, the development of human resources, the development financing, and above all, the search for creation and innovation. To conclude, I would say that your reflections and your exchanges interest us at the highest level, because this directly concerns our development program and work that consists of 50 projects in a large part of Sanskrit, precisely in the framework of the Action Plan of the Union for the next four years, on top of which we wish vividly that the IT sector of Djibouti becomes a real locomotive for the creation of value, generation of employment and generation of wealth. I am firmly convinced that the whole of these questions, the way of partner cooperation remains the choice, the most appropriate for the development of technology, the information of communication and I want to assure you that Djibouti will remain particularly attentive for the implementation of the great axes of its strategy to the organizations that are adopted in the action plan of Dubai on behalf of this world conference for the development of telecommunications. Thank you very much for your attention.
