Ghana has intensified its campaign for election to the Council of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Radio Regulations Board (RRB), engaging key member states during the ongoing ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2026 (PP-26) in Doha, Qatar.
The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, led a series of high-level bilateral meetings with delegations from Canada, Qatar, Australia, Romania, Iraq and Nepal on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The engagements formed part of Ghana’s efforts to secure support for its candidatures to the two ITU bodies.
Discussions focused on Ghana’s bids for seats on the ITU Council and RRB, while also exploring opportunities to strengthen bilateral cooperation in communication, digital technology and telecommunications.
The meetings are part of Ghana’s broader diplomatic outreach at PP-26, where member states are deliberating on key decisions expected to shape the future direction of global telecommunications and digital development.
