cooperation within the Commonwealth framework.
Officials
indicated that the upcoming Council Meeting and Digital Roadshow will provide a
platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and partnership-building aimed at
advancing inclusive and sustainable digital transformation across member
states.
The
engagements underscore the CTO’s continued commitment to supporting countries
in leveraging digital technologies for socio-economic development as Lesotho
