Digital opportunities are growing across Africa, but so are challenges that no country can address alone. A connected digital future will not be achieved by technology alone. It can only be achieved through cooperation and the choices we make together. #GabonDigitalWeek

A #Partner2Connect pledge is the first step towards a much wider impact. Last week's P2C Global Advisory board meeting focused on turning more of these pledges into real progress, bringing meaningful connectivity to more people & communities around the world.

Small States bring valuable experiences, best practices & solutions to digital cooperation. I hope to see strong participation from Forum of Small States (FOSS) members at ITU #Plenipot, where every country's voice matters-on AI, space, digital resilience & beyond. @SGPMissionGva
