The Ghanaian delegation attending the World Telecom Standardisation Assembly (ITUWTSA-20) in Geneva, Switzerland is leaving nothing to chance at the conference, showing off the country’s rich culture and digital innovations.
The Ghanaian delegation is made up of investors, innovators, project and decision-makers from the ICT ecosystem and led by the Communications and Digitalisation Minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
Dressed beautifully in their ‘kente’ and ‘fugu’ the Ghanaian delegation hosted a launch reception which afforded them the opportunity to woo other delegates and decision-makers ahead of a critical vote on the membership of the ITU Council.
Speaking at a lunch reception hosted by Ghana to showcase the country, Mrs Owusu-Ekuful said
“Ghana has put up its candidature to be elected to the ITU Council for the Africa Region and we seek your support in this quest at the upcoming Plenipotentiary Conference in Bucharest Romania"
"We equally seek your support for our candidate for the Radio Regulations Board (RRB) for the Africa Region, Rev. Edmund Yirenkyi Fianko, currently the Ag. Director of Engineering at the National Communications Authority.
Ghana will continue to be a shining example to the ITU and its tenets. We appeal to you to support our candidatures for ITU Council and the RRB" Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful added.
On his part, the ITU Secretary-General, Houlin Zhao pledged his unflinching support for Ghana's candidature.
"This is the first African minister to have openly announced her campaign and I must admit, Ghana has been a splendid member state to the ITU hence I promise to campaign and vote for them". He said.
This year’s GSS-20 is under the theme “International standards to enable digital transformation and achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs)”.
