Dear ITU,
Six years ago, I was a young engineer who had just started working for the ICT regulator of my country. My first task was to do research on the ITU. After that, many Council meetings, conferences... Since then, I have been learning about ITU, learning with ITU.
Happy birthday ITU.

Wish to extend Birthday greetings to the ITU on this significant milestone and reflect on how important the work that they do affect our lifes on a daily basis. This was so evident when our country was hit by Hurricane Beryl on July 1 , 2024 and we were unable to communicate with each other.

Happy 160Y-anniversary, ITU ✨🎉🎈 Compared to your 160Y, my 5Y with ITU seem to be insignificant, but I'm a small piece in a big overall ITU-puzzle, which BTW exactly this year is double as old as the United Nations (1945-2025 = 80Y) ... and together we "hold fast to our common humanity".
