Turning digital ambition into action.

Our President Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa and HE Deemah AlYahya @Dalyahya, Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization @dcorg, signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the OPEC Fund Development Forum, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing digital transformation within an inclusive and sustainable digital economy.

The partnership will focus on project development, knowledge sharing, policy and regulatory enhancement, human capital and digital skills development, helping support the transition from digital ambition and planning to the practical implementation of interoperable, secure and inclusive digital systems.

Earlier today, the OPEC Fund unveiled a US$1.5 billion Digital Transformation Action Plan to support digital infrastructure, systems and applications in developing countries through 2030, providing a timely foundation that this partnership can help advance.

We look forward to working together to identify concrete areas of collaboration, promote knowledge exchange and support initiatives that advance an inclusive and sustainable digital economy.

Progress is not defined by the partnerships we announce, but by the impact we create together.

Proud to take part in the @TheOPECFund's Development Forum 2026 in Vienna alongside leaders and development partners from around the world.

The discussions here reinforce a simple truth: the world's most pressing challenges require cooperation, investment, and a shared commitment to turning ambition into action.

Digital prosperity cannot be achieved in isolation. It depends on our ability to work together.

That was my main message at Cyprus' "Shaping the Next Digital Frontier" Conference.

Today, around three-quarters of the world is online, yet only 4% of people in low-income countries have access to 5G, compared to 84% in high-income economies.

At @dcorg, we believe the answer is greater cooperation. #Cyprus itself, at the crossroads of Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, demonstrates the value of cooperation serving as a bridge between regions, ideas, and opportunities.

Let us work together to ensure the benefits of the digital economy reach everyone, everywhere.

My sincere thanks to Evgenios Evgeniou for the engaging conversation and to George Tziortzis for the excellent moderation.

Meaningful digital transformation requires more than technology. It requires partnership, investment, and collective action.

On the sidelines of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Annual Meetings 2026 in Baku, DCO and Co-Develop convened a High-Level Dinner Dialogue on Scaling Investment for Inclusive Digital Transformation and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).

The dialogue brought together senior leaders from government, development finance institutions, multilateral organizations, and the private sector to explore how stronger partnerships, innovative financing, and coordinated action can unlock scalable digital opportunities and accelerate inclusive digital transformation across developing economies.

Together, we can advance a more inclusive, connected, and prosperous digital future for all.

Digital transformation thrives on expertise, insight, and collaboration.

Delighted to meet George Metzakis, CEO of @cytacyprus, on the sidelines of #Cyprus' "Shaping the Next Digital Frontier" Conference.

As Cyprus’ leading telecom operator, CYTA has played a pivotal role in advancing the country’s digital transformation, helping position Cyprus as an emerging digital hub in the Eastern Mediterranean.

We discussed CYTA's dedicated role as an Observer and opportunities to further strengthen the fruitful cooperation between CYTA and @dcorg.

CYTA's commitment is highly valued, and we look forward to advancing #DigitalProsperity4All, together.

[Deemah AlYahya @Dalyahya]

Always great to reconnect with dear friends, no matter where they are.

Happy to be back in Cyprus and reconnect with my dear friend Evgenios Evgeniou, Chairman of @InvestCyprus.

Invest Cyprus has been a valued @dcorg partner helping strengthen #Cyprus' position as a leading digital and technology investment destination.

We reflected on the great progress of our DFDI Cyprus initiative, discussed ways to further grow the country's digital investment ecosystem, and looked ahead to the upcoming DFDI Cyprus report.

Looking forward to continuing our collaboration toward #DigitalProsperity4All.
