Minister of information, Moses Kunkuyu, has asked Koreans and leaders of African countries to focus on Information and Communication Technology seriously to transform the lives of people especially the rural masses.
Kunkuyu was speaking during the 10th Global ICT Leadership Forum aimed at bringing together high level officials from Korea and African countries, so that they discuss the solidarity strategies for achieving sustainable development Goals through digital innovation
Kunyuyu said there is need for well-developed countries like Korea to embrace African countries so that they too develop from ICT
“ It is a fact, if you leave someone behind then digitalization is nor complete, similarly if you leave Africa behind then ICT is incomplete” he said
Kunkuyu is one of the Cabinet ministers who have accompanied Vice President Dr Saulos Chilima to the summit.
Dr Chilima has been delegated by President Dr Lazarus Chakwera to attend the high level conference, which is the first of its kind to be hosted by Seoul.
