She explained that "the Ministry of Communications, as a specialized ministry, aspires to be a model for the rest of the ministries, and has made great strides in this field, and possesses many digital applications and systems that were created by Iraqi hands and minds."
She stated that "the aim of holding the Digital Cooperation Forum is to approve the Arab Digital Agenda that was discussed last year with the participation of a number of international organizations, such as the International Federation and the United Nations, in addition to the Arab League, and today the ministerial declaration on the Arab Digital Agenda was approved."
Al-Yasiri added, "The meeting also aims to review the prospects of rapid digital development and keep pace with it, as it has become a necessity for Arab countries in order to keep up with global development in this field."

She also indicated that "digital transformation has become an important goal in order to enhance the digital economy, considering that the digital economy today is one of the most important economies that the world is looking at, especially in oil countries that must adopt a digital economy that is an alternative to the oil rentier economy and is a real guarantee for them."
Al-Yasiri also pointed out that “artificial intelligence is still a challenge facing all countries of the world, in order to preserve the ethics of artificial intelligence on the one hand, and benefit from innovation and great scientific progress in this field.” https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=52945
