World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) offers us a unique moment to reflect on the developments of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the challenges they pose and the actions we can take to connect the unconnected.
Celebrated annually every 17 May since 1969, WTISD marks the founding of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865.
On this important occasion, I wish to express sincere appreciation to the global ICT family: all the leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, academics, researchers, people in small and large companies and others who are engaged in ICT development.
Congratulations on your marvelous achievements and thank you for your excellent contributions!

Naleku and Roho spend a lot of time squabbling with each other on Instagram. The two young friends from East Africa are orphan elephants, among the youngest in the care of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
The Trust, which runs an elephant rescue and rehabilitation programme, uses its social media account to raise awareness about the disappearance of wildlife habitats. This includes sharing the stories of the elephants with its 840,000 followers.
Instagram is only one way to build a community that cares about wildlife conservation.
With the world’s wildlife facing unprecedented threats, digital technologies are being deployed to protect animals and their habitats in innovative ways.
