The President's Address
The President of the Republic estimated that humanity is currently undergoing a historic turning point due to the communication revolution, where what was once considered science fiction has become a tangible reality. He emphasized the need for all Arab countries to be at the forefront of digital transformations that have changed the world, affirming that digitization is a tool of major importance in many areas, particularly in the fight against corruption.
The Importance of Responsible Digital Transformation

Humanity is recreating itself, but values must not disappear, truths must not be falsified, and modern means of communication must not be diverted for intellectual alienation, manipulation, or defamation.
