The Minister of Communications discussed the "Silk Link" project with the International Communications Association.
Details:
The Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Abdul Salam Haikel, spoke today with the Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union, Doreen Bogdan-Martin, about the role of the "Silk Link" project in diversifying the data transfer routes between Europe and Asia through Syria, and increasing the flexibility of international communication networks.
Haikel explained that the project aims to provide an additional path for data transmission, which reduces the risks associated with concentrating data traffic in a limited number of paths, and supports the continuity of digital services.
Both sides agreed to continue coordination in the new way, and cooperate in the development of the national plan for the frequency spectrum.
The two sides discussed opportunities for cooperation within the "Partner2Connect" coalition, and the possibility that Syria will benefit from the expertise and capabilities of its partners to support infrastructure development and digital transformation.
Bogdan-Martin praised the ministry's integrated approach to reforming the communications sector and modernizing its infrastructure.
Syria's membership in the International Telecommunication Union, one of the UN's specialized agencies, dates back to 1924, and the ministry aims to strengthen cooperation with it and benefit from its technical expertise to develop the sector and improve its services.
