Amr Talaat, Egypt's Minister of Communications and Information Technology, emphasized that Egypt's digital strategy aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. He stated that providing citizens with access to telecommunications and the internet in the digital age is no longer a luxury but a fundamental right. Talaat highlighted the Egyptian government's efforts to enhance digital infrastructure, including the implementation of a project to extend fiber optic cables across 4,500 villages as part of the "Decent Life" initiative. Additionally, the quality of telecommunications services in these villages is being improved by increasing the number of mobile towers. He noted that these projects are being executed through public-private partnerships to extend fiber optic cables nationwide.
