Ghana has stepped up diplomatic engagements to secure positions on two key governing and regulatory bodies of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), holding talks with six countries at the ongoing ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Doha, Qatar.
The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, led the discussions with delegations from Canada, Qatar, Australia, Romania, Iraq and Nepal on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The meetings formed part of Ghana’s campaign for election to the ITU Council and the Radio Regulations Board (RRB), as the country seeks to strengthen its representation in decisions shaping global telecommunications and digital development.
Beyond soliciting support for the two candidatures, the engagements explored opportunities to expand cooperation with the participating countries in telecommunications, digital technology and the broader communications sector.
The outreach is part of Ghana’s diplomatic efforts at the 2026 ITU Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-26), where member states are deliberating on the organisation’s priorities and the future direction of global digital connectivity.
Ghana is seeking the support of fellow member states to secure the two positions and contribute to policy and regulatory decisions within the international telecommunications body.
