The ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-25), convened in Baku from 17-28 November 2025, endorsed a renewed set of Regional Initiatives for the 2026-2029 period. These Regional Initiatives, as articulated in the Baku Action Plan, respond to the distinct requirements of each major global region in advancing and accelerating digital transformation.

For the Arab Region, the initiatives read as follows:

ARB1: Universal meaningful connectivity for inclusive growth

ARB2: Advancing sustainable digital transformation for resilient and inclusive digital economy

ARB3: Enhancing emergency telecommunication preparedness and response in the Arab States region

ARB4: Innovation ecosystems to support the adoption and growth of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence

ARB5: Cybersecurity resilience for a digital Arab future
