Atef Hemly, Egypt’s communications and information technology minister says that progress within other sectors relies on reform within the country’s ICT sector, CCTV Africa reported. In addition to bolstering Egypt’s education and health sectors, creating jobs is on the top of the list for the country, which is working hard to rebuild its political and infrastructural landscape.

“There’s no doubt that the technology and communications sector is one of the [most] competitive when it comes to investment,” Hemly told CCTV Africa. “As part of building our new Egypt and modern Egypt, ICT is a cornerstone to do that.”
