Minister of Communications, Hiyam Al-Yasiri, announced on Thursday the imminent launch of electronic signatures, while stressing that they are internationally recognized. Al-Yasiri stated in a statement to the official agency that “the government has been working very quickly, and digital transformation has been a priority,” noting that “electronic payment is now available everywhere, in addition to the full localization of salaries and the delivery of a unified card to almost all Iraqis.”
She added, “The Ministry of Communications is the unknown soldier of the digital transformation project, as the ministry is the one providing the infrastructure for the unified card. We are the ones providing the infrastructure for the electronic passport, and all institutions working on the electronic transformation originally rely on the infrastructure of the Ministry of Communications. We have made a significant contribution to the digital transformation in Iraq.”
She also stressed, “We have strategic plans and major projects that we want to complete in the future. Our ministry is focused on three main success stories, including the national mobile phone license project, the fiber optic cable project, and its widespread deployment. We are continuing with expansion and submarine cable and transit projects.” She noted that, “Electronic signatures will soon be launched in Iraq for the first time, and have become globally recognized. They are a fundamental pillar of digital transformation in Iraq.”
