Το WTDC25 στο Μπακού αναδεικνύει την ψηφιακή ένταξη και τη συνεργασία
Η Παγκόσμια Διάσκεψη Ανάπτυξης Τηλεπικοινωνιών συγκέντρωσε στο Μπακού διεθνείς φορείς, υπουργούς και ψηφιακούς ηγέτες για να εξετάσουν πώς οι χώρες μπορούν να χτίσουν ένα ασφαλές, χωρίς αποκλεισμούς και βιώσιμο ψηφιακό μέλλον.
00:00Σε αυτή τη συμφωνία στην ΑζερβαיץΘΑ δεν είναι μία εξαιρετική.
00:05Η ΑζερβαיץΔΑ καθέναν την επακτήση με την εξεπιστή με την ιδέα με την ιδέα αλληλεπτική και εξαιρετική κοινωνία της ίδιακητής.
00:14Universal, meaningful and affordable connectivity for an inclusive and sustainable digital future.
00:22That's the theme of the World Telecommunication Development Conference this year.
00:26The 12-day event offered a unique platform for high-ranking officials from the International Telecommunications Union
00:33to come together to help achieve their mission, connecting the world and beyond.
00:38I think that Pakistan and Azerbaijan, our relationship goes way behind and beyond our digital collaboration.
00:47And whether it has been geopolitics, economic stability, our people-to-people relationships.
00:53Our relationship has always stood the test of times and we've always worked together.
00:59A key aim for the World Telecommunication Development Conference is clear.
01:05How to create a new progressive digital future.
01:09But what does that mean?
01:10There are areas dominating discussions like how policy can advance inclusivity
01:17and what more can be done for connectivity and innovation.
01:21This conference in the heart of Baku, where thought leaders, industry experts and policy makers gather,
01:27acts as a global enabler for those involved in the sector.
01:32The idea is to have a certain level of openness, yet be very careful around our data security, our digital boundaries.
01:41But Azerbaijan, as a trusted brother and a friendly country, is one that we're very comfortable with having conversations.
01:49ITU member Kenya reiterated the host nation was advancing within the sector, stressing that sharing those good practices is beneficial to other member states.
02:00I can say we have a cordial relationship between ourselves and the people of Azerbaijan.
02:05Of course you understand that, you know that they are quite advanced in terms of cyber security, e-government.
02:15And we hope to be able to work together with the people of the Ministry of Digital here in Azerbaijan.
02:23Acknowledgement of global wealth inequalities by leaders furthered conversations on emerging trends and developmental strategies within the telecommunication industry.
02:33Our collaborative work with industry and private sector, from also stretching to cyber security issues, skills, identifying gaps, like rural and urban gaps, et cetera, et cetera.
02:46So it is very important for us and also to take care of the developmental aspects as they relate to emerging technologies.
02:54The ITU is also clear about why each member should be considered to host.
03:06It is very important.
03:07It is the first time that an ITU statutory meeting has been held in the CIS region.
03:13All regions are equal.
03:15The cost of digital inclusivity is and will continue to be costly.
03:20But this landmark conference in Azerbaijan welcomes leaders to be transparent about the financial barriers.
03:26It is a chance to acknowledge inequalities and endeavour to solve those challenges.
03:32Sustainability, affordability and how to tackle the digital divide is top of the agenda.
03:38And the important thing about ITU is to try and get a balance so that the unconnected are connected.
03:48The underserved are served.
03:50And that can only happen if cost of connectivity comes down.
03:54We have to be very cognizant of the fact that emerging technologies need to be deployed in a very equitable and ethical manner as we move on for a sustainable and equitable growth across.
04:05The ITU has held similar conferences across its member states for over 30 years.
04:10The role that Azerbaijan plays within the organisation has proven to be crucial.
04:15Azerbaijan is a member of the International Telecommunication Union for more than 30 years
04:20and was able to have a very successful cooperation with the ITU.
04:25As of today, we have about 2,500 participants attending this event,
04:31which is an historical record for ITU development conferences.
04:37There is no doubt the conference is a significant platform for not only Azerbaijan and the closer region,
04:42but for all 48 members of the ITU, bringing together over 1,000 organisations and 194 national governments.
04:50This comes as global connectivity becomes more and more important in an ever-changing world.
