About RPM Europe

The Regional Preparatory Meeting for WTDC for Europe (RPM-EUR) took​ place virtually from 18 to 19 January 2021. ​

 RPM-EUR was organized at the kind invitation of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic.

In line with Resolution 31 (Rev. Hyderabad, 2010), the Regional Preparatory Meetings (RPMs) aim at engaging the membership in the preparations of the World Telecommunication Developm​​​ent Conference (WTDC) in order to achieve regional coordination before the conference itself. They also seek to identify issues at the regional level that need to be addressed to foster the development of telecommunications and ICTs, taking into account the most pressing needs faced by the Member States and Sector Members of the region.

Outcomes of RPMs are consolidated at the inter-regional coordination meeting and discussed at TDAG 2021. The outcomes of TDAG are submitted to WTDC as draft documents for consideration. ​
