At #UNGA81, the WSIS community came together for “Building an Inclusive Future for All: The WSIS Action Lines as a Framework for Global Digital Cooperation” to advance action and implementation, drawing on the experience and perspectives of those working to make digital cooperation work for all.
Multistakeholder cooperation is key to strengthening implementation roadmaps, sharing solutions and delivering meaningful impact for people and communities — with the full and active participation of women and girls in digital development.

📢The adoption of the WSIS+20 Outcome Document (A/RES/80/173) by consensus was more than an agreement, it was a reaffirmation of the multistakeholder model.
Tomorrow's #WSIS session at #UNGA81 will showcase how the WSIS Action Lines continue to bring that model to life through cooperation and implementation.

Last week, I attended the WSIS Forum 2026 🇺🇳
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a United Nations multistakeholder forum focused on digital governance, connectivity, and the development of an inclusive information society.
Among the sessions held during the Forum was the ITU and GSMA presentation, “Building Fit-for-Purpose Networks: Emergency Telecommunications in Action.”
Separately, the Telcoin Network is exclusively validated by GSMA member mobile network operators, with 15 currently participating in the Adiri Testnet.
I had the opportunity to connect with delegates during the Forum. I look forward to working together in the months ahead.

SMEs are frequent cyberattack targets, but their role in employment and global supply chains makes their resilience critical to sustainable development.
At #WSIS Forum 2026, Kaspersky brought together government, international organizations and industry to discuss SME cyber resilience.
The takeaway: stronger protection requires a comprehensive, multistakeholder approach.

On 6–7 July, I had the honour of representing President of the Lebanese Republic General #Joseph_Aoun and leading Lebanon’s delegation to the inaugural Global Dialogue on AI Governance, held at the Palexpo conference centre in Geneva with representatives from 169 countries, alongside the WSIS Forum 2026.
In Lebanon’s national statement, I presented our vision for using AI to support national recovery, modernize public institutions, create economic opportunities and advance sustainable development.
I emphasized that AI is not merely a technological agenda, but a national capability, responsibility and promise to our people. Progress must deliver tangible improvements in citizens’ lives, while governance should provide innovation with trust, direction and safety.
I also outlined the Ministry’s priorities, including the NUMŪ programme for digital and AI capacity-building, the digitization of public services, stronger legislative, technical and cybersecurity readiness, support for startups and researchers, and greater engagement with the Lebanese diaspora.
Digital sovereignty does not mean isolation. It means having the capacity to understand the technologies we adopt, govern our data, protect critical systems and make decisions aligned with our national values and needs.
Lebanon will not stand by and watch. We will build as we learn, govern as we innovate, and contribute to shaping a safe and inclusive global AI future.
