Approximately 2.6 billion people in the world still do not have access to the internet, said Deputy Minister of Digital Development and Transport Samaddin Asadov at the press conference held within the framework of the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-25), APA-Economics reports.

He said that the aim of WTDC-25 is precisely to increase accessible and high-quality connectivity opportunities for such people and to reduce the global digital divide.

“Azerbaijan is among the few countries that provide 100% broadband internet across its entire territory. This allows us to serve as an example in the region and to share our experience at the global level. Within the framework of the conference, the global digital development roadmap for 2026–2029 will be adopted, and new regional initiatives and telecommunication priorities will be identified. In addition, increasing the digital capabilities of least developed countries, landlocked states, and small island developing states will be in the spotlight.”

“WTDC-25 is also a unique platform for knowledge and experience exchange. Here, government representatives, ICT industry leaders, and international organizations will come together to discuss new technologies and advanced practices. This is an invaluable opportunity to enhance Azerbaijan’s digital capabilities and strengthen its position as a technological leader in the region,” the deputy minister added.
