LONDON: A delegation from the Syrian Arab Republic is participating in the World Summit on the Information Society Forum 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland, as the country seeks to rebuild and reconnect with the global economy.
The delegation, which is led by Khaled Al-Homsi, director general of Syria’s Telecommunications and Post Regulatory Authority, aims to strengthen international cooperation and build partnerships in telecommunications and information technology, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
The forum, which is organized by the International Telecommunication Union and several UN agencies, runs until July 10. It is being held at the ITU headquarters on Monday and Tuesday before moving to Geneva’s Palexpo exhibition center for sessions from Wednesday to Friday.
The event brings together governments, private companies, academics, civil society groups and international organizations to discuss digital transformation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, infrastructure and digital inclusion.
Al-Homsi said Syria’s participation reflected renewed engagement with international forums.
