ITU
World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) offers us a unique moment to reflect on the developments of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the challenges they pose and the actions we can take to connect the unconnected.
Celebrated annually every 17 May since 1969, WTISD marks the founding of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865.
On this important occasion, I wish to express sincere appreciation to the global ICT family: all the leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, academics, researchers, people in small and large companies and others who are engaged in ICT development.
Congratulations on your marvelous achievements and thank you for your excellent contributions!
