00:00 My view is communications with the media, with the social media, is also a challenge.
00:07 And the criticism that has been levied against us is that while some of the policies are
00:13 impressive, the communications to impart and disseminate the information has not been that
00:23 effective or satisfactory.
00:25 So there must be this focus.
00:27 The issue of digital transformation is a major focus of this government and it has to be
00:38 conducted in a manner that is mainly focused.

00:48 There are new data centres, new interest in AI, the need to enhance the understanding
00:57 of students at various levels.
01:00 So it's a very challenging task and I believe that to focus on this particular issue is
01:06 daunting for us.
