On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, led a delegation to meet representatives from Canada, Qatar, Australia, Romania, Iraq and Nepal. The meetings took place on the sidelines of the International Telecommunication Union’s Plenipotentiary Conference 2026 (PP‑26) in Doha, Qatar, where member states are debating the future of global telecommunications and digital development.
Discussions centred on Ghana’s candidatures for positions on the ITU Council and the Radio Regulations Board (RRB). The minister also explored opportunities to strengthen bilateral cooperation in telecommunications, digital technology and communication with each country.
These engagements are part of Ghana’s broader diplomatic campaign to secure support from member states for its bids to join the two key ITU bodies. The country’s push comes as the conference participants consider decisions that will shape international telecommunications governance and the global digital ecosystem.
