On Sunday, November 8, 2026, Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations Samuel Nartey George flew to the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre to participate in the three‑day Mobile World Congress (MWC) hosted by the GSMA in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. The congress assembled policymakers, telecom executives and industry stakeholders to debate the future of global connectivity and digital innovation.
George took part in the Digital Leadership Forum, a panel focused on telecommunications developments, and the GSMA Ministerial Programme, which convenes ministers, delegation heads and industry leaders to shape connectivity policy. He also attended the State of Qatar Ministerial Roundtable, where digital transformation’s role in building an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future was examined.
A key element of the minister’s agenda was bilateral talks with counterparts from the Bahamas and Kenya. The meetings aimed to explore mutual interests, voting and candidacies, and the harmonisation of policy positions, strengthening Ghana’s diplomatic and technical cooperation while advancing its telecommunications and digital governance objectives.
In addition, George was scheduled to join an informal Heads of Delegation meeting before formal proceedings and the Commonwealth Evening Reception hosted by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation. These engagements are part of Ghana’s broader strategy to deepen international cooperation, attract strategic partnerships and contribute to global discussions on telecom and digital technology policy.
The minister’s participation is expected to support Ghana’s digital transformation goals, expanding connectivity, fostering innovation and creating new opportunities for businesses and citizens.
