The Acting Chairman of the Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority, Sheikh Athbi Jaber Al-Sabah, met on Sunday with the Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), Deemah Al Yahya, to discuss ways to enhance joint cooperation in related fields.
CITRA stated in a press release to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the meeting addressed issues related to digital transformation and ways to strengthen the partnership between the State of Kuwait and the member states of the organization, within the framework of supporting regional and international cooperation in the field of the digital economy.
The statement added that the meeting included discussions about Kuwait's upcoming presidency of the organization's council in 2025, and coordination efforts to provide technical and technological support to relevant entities to ensure a successful term and continued collaboration.
It was noted that Kuwait, one of the founding members of the Digital Cooperation Organization and represented by the Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority, will chair the next General Assembly meeting at the beginning of 2026.
In February, Kuwait assumed the presidency of the fifth session of the DCO General Assembly for the year 2025, taking over from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which chaired the fourth session in 2024.
The Digital Cooperation Organization is a multilateral international organization that aims to enable digital prosperity for all by accelerating inclusive and sustainable growth of the global digital economy.
