Welcome statement by His Excellency 
President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali 
President of the Republic of Tunisia
to the participants in the First Phase of the 
World Summit on the Information Society

(Geneva, December 10-12, 2003)

For a strategic partnership based on solidarity

The World Summit on the Information Society, proposed by Tunisia in 1998, is 
the first major event of the new millennium and constitutes a historic 
opportunity for the international community to agree on a common vision of the 
Information Society and to develop an approach for action aimed at bridging 
the digital divide and allowing the advent of an Information Society that is 
balanced and accessible to all.

Strongly committed to the principles of solidarity between peoples and 
dialogue among civilizations, Tunisia reaffirms its determination to 
contribute to the success of this Summit in Geneva in December 2003, and to 
the crowning of the Summit at its second phase in Tunis in November 2005. It 
will strive for that goal through its contribution to efforts making possible 
the achievement of results reflecting the hopes and aspirations of the 
international community in all its components, and meeting the objectives of 
the Millennium Declaration.

To achieve its main objective, which consists in promoting the Information 
Society and consecrating the Communication and Information Technologies as a 
strategic tool for balanced development at the economic, social and cultural 
levels, this Summit is called upon to establish a bridge between different 
development levels and various digital cultures, and to develop a genuine form 
of cooperation  that is coordinated and involving all the concerned parties : 
governments, international organizations, civil society, and the private 
sector.

Today, we are proud to participate in the first phase of the Summit, driven by 
the hope of collectively establishing a platform for peace and economic and 
human development in the world, without exclusion, based on a firm political 
commitment, and of raising the issue of the digital divide in a context of 
strategic partnership based on solidarity.

In view of the unity of its process, the success of the Summit depends on the 
success of each of its two phases. The interdependence of the two phases is 
not only a factor of dynamism but also and certainly a guarantee of success.

Tunisia wishes all success to this Summit at its first phase.  Faithful to its 
time-honored tradition of hospitality, our country is already looking forward 
to welcoming all representatives of governments, international organizations, 
civil society and the private sector, at the second phase of the Summit 
scheduled for November 16-18, 2005. 

Zine El Abidine Ben Ali
President of the Republic of Tunisia
