Meet the Chairmen of the Regional Preparatory Meetings
for WTDC-02
Despite the obvious uniqueness of each of the five
regions, the topics adopted for discussion at the regional preparatory meetings,
following consultations undertaken by ITU Regional Offices with the
Member States and Sector Members, were strikingly similar. These topics
basically focus on infrastructure development and new technologies; ICTs and
universal access; telecommunication policy and regulation; finance and
investment; and human resources development.
 “The Americas Regional Preparatory Meeting (AMS-RPM) afforded Latin America
and Caribbean countries the opportunity to address critical areas such as ITU
reform and the digital divide. For my part, I hope that the World
Telecommunication Development Conference in Turkey will take some of the views
expressed at the AMS-RPM and design strategies to further advance
telecommunication development in Member States.”
