This is a very good indicator of the success of the National Day and its global resonance. Following this, we held several remote meetings via the Microsoft Teams application, By the grace of God, the Libyan Organization for Information and Communications Technology has been approved as a member of the Internet Society, starting from 7/1/2021, so that we can be one of the drivers of Internet communities globally, and we can obtain plans to introduce new technologies, bring strategies, and participate in global reports.
