Omo emphasized that decisions in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) are heavily influenced by political will at the highest levels of government. He welcomed the attendance of President Daniel Chapo at the conference, viewing it as a sign of Mozambique's strong commitment to digital development.

Invited by the National Communications Institute of Mozambique (INCM - Autoridade Reguladora das Comunicações), the ATU attended the conference as a guest, meeting with policymakers, regulators, and development partners to discuss strategies for advancing the country's communications and ICT agenda. The ATU used this platform to advocate for a coordinated communications agenda, focusing on digital transformation, emergency preparedness, inclusivity, and resilience building.

The Union also commended Mozambique for integrating connectivity into broader functions such as citizen participation, public protection, and national development. The conference brought together key players from the global ICT ecosystem, including Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU); Bernadette Lewis, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO); and Américo Muchanga, Mozambique's Minister of Communications and Digital Transformation.
