Al-Hassawi emphasized CITRA’s efforts to transform Kuwait into a smart country by leveraging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) to connect infrastructure, services, and citizens. Additionally, the authority is focused on developing and applying artificial intelligence (AI) in various sectors such as health, education, security, transportation, and energy. CITRA also utilizes big data for decision-making, performance improvement, and innovation.
Regarding resource management, CITRA works to establish policies, laws, standards, and mechanisms to ensure fair and effective distribution, allocation, and regulation of resources like frequency spectrum and numbering resources. Al-Hassawi stressed the importance of setting rules, conditions, and procedures for managing and regulating telecommunications services.
Furthermore, CITRA is actively expanding relationships, agreements, and partnerships with local, regional, and international bodies in the field of communications and information technology. This collaboration aims to enhance cooperation in infrastructure development, services, resources, standards, policies, regulation, training, research, and innovation. Notably, CITRA recently signed a cooperation agreement with the Arab Telecommunications League to enhance coordination and development in the Arab world’s communications and information technology sector.
