Iran’s message at ...

4- Technology as right of nations
Our emphasis at the Baku conference is that the development of communications is a human right and should not be turned into a tool of pressure, sanctions, or domination. This view is not just a political position but our lived experience for other nations. Technological sanctions over the past years have attempted to limit Iran’s industrial, educational, commercial, and innovative capacities, however, the result has been a leap and independence for domestic power.
Today, in line with technological diplomacy, the messages of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the world are that today Iran is an independent country in the field of communications development, has export capacity in the field of cloud networks and digital services, and has a proven indigenous model in the field of cybersecurity.
This message is an inspiring message for the nations and countries of the region and many independent countries.
5- Iran’s new technology diplomacy
Nevertheless, technology diplomacy at the Baku WTDC-25 is not the end of a technical mission, rather the beginning of a new chapter and mutual cooperation with other governments and nations in the fields of cybersecurity, the development of smart networks, the endogenous digital economy, and the digital transformation of countries.
This year’s event is an opportunity for Iran to consolidate the country’s technology diplomacy. We arrived in Baku with a new narrative: The narrative of a country that stood firm in the most difficult cyber war in the region and is ready to share its experience and be a partner in the development of global communications.
Last but not least, this an invitation to all government and private agencies, companies, and institutions active in the country’s technology field: Iran’s future path is not only the path of domestic development, it is also the path of presence in international arenas and regional and global markets, and the ICT Ministry is set to facilitate this path.
