JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology will discuss the potential for digitalization cooperation with Egypt at the 2nd High-Level Forum on Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (HLF-MSP) and Indonesia-Africa Forum (IAF) events.

Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi said that his meeting with the Egyptian delegation would be part of an effort to strengthen bilateral relations and develop strategic cooperation in the field of technology and digitization.

"One of them is that we will share digitalization with Egypt, including equitable internet access and how digitalization can increase economic leaps and the country's progress," Budi said in Bali in his official broadcast quoted Monday, September 2.

Budi also hopes that Indonesia's cooperation with Egypt will be able to advance Indonesia in the future, especially now that the Indonesian government is focusing on digital transformation.
