The Minister of Science and Information Issa Boshra, said: "The conference held is a critical time for Sudan and the African continent. Boshra confirmed that the government plans and programmes on the communication field are heading toward the right direction.
He mentioned the prominent role played by this sector, in supporting economy and taking the state to a developed stage from internal and external communication.
The conference said in its final statement: "Information technology and communication techniques are considered as a developmental key in Africa, its economic competitive ability and its pledge to continue implementing resolutions acquired by the African Union conference.”
The conference called for a speed in transition from analogue to digital systems and to use distant education services, and electronic medicine within the African computer network.
