​At a conference co-organized with the Permanent Mission of India in Geneva, the ITU Secretary-General discussed digital public infrastructure (DPI), how to build a citizen-centric system, digital governance, and data standards for AI. With clear vision and strategy, all countries can create conditions to scale up DPI, public-private collaboration, and innovation and investment in the public interest, she said.​​

​The Secretary-General and a team from ITU told WEF participants how investments in digital skills, inclusion and infrastructure can help create a better future for all. Over the course of the week in Davos, Switzerland, she addressed high-level meetings on artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies, cyber risks, open standards for digital wallets, and more. 

​The ITU Secretary-General welcomed Geneva-based United Nations agencies and international organizations to ITU Headquarters to advance ITU contributions and opportunities for collaboration to support for the Pact for the Future and the associated Global Digital Compact endorsed by the UN General Assembly.

​The ITU Secretary-General joined Geneva-area students and mentors for the 15th anniversary celebrations of FerMUN, the Model United Nations at Lycée international de Ferney-Voltaire. Programmes like this are “where policy innovation takes shape and where tomorrow's leaders find ways to ensure tech is a tool for positive change," she said.​
