It also stresses the importance of promoting the resilience of new ICT infrastructure.
“This was a very successful event,” said ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao. “Nearly every day, a disaster strikes somewhere in the world. The high number of participants reflects the common will to join forces to help reduce the impact of disasters.”
“We all gathered in Kuwait to harness the enormous potential of telecommunications and ICT to save lives when disasters strike,” said Brahima Sanou, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau. “This forum has helped forge partnerships that will be key to making our goal a reality.”
