Abstract :

The 2025 ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-25) was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 17 to 28 November 2025. As a landmark event for the ITU, WTDC-25 delivered several significant outcomes, including the adoption of the Baku Action Plan (BAP) and the Baku Declaration. The conference also introduced new Regional Initiatives and revised or introduced Study Group Questions, all of which will be relevant for the period 2026-2029.
In addition, WTDC-25 undertook a comprehensive review of its resolutions, resulting in amendments to 44 existing resolutions and the adoption of 4 new ones. The conference further appointed a new Chair and Bureau of the Telecommunication Development Advisory Group (TDAG), as well as new Chairs and Vice-Chairs for the ITU-D Study Groups.
This report has been prepared to inform TDAG of the key outcomes of WTDC-25 and to request guidance on the next steps.
