Communications and Information Technologies Minister Ali Abbasov has visited Turkey to attend the Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which will take place from Monday, November 6 to Friday, November 24 in Antalya, Turkey.

As APA reports, Turkish Premier Recap Tayyip Erdogan addressed the conference.

Mr. Abbasov is expected to make a speech at the conference attended by 196 countries. He will also meet with heads of leading ICT, business and governmental organizations.

The Plenipotentiary Conference is the top policy-making body of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Held every four years, the Conference sets the Union’s general policies, adopts four-year strategic and financial plans and elects the senior management team of the organization, the members of Council and the members of the radio regulations board.

In other words, it is the key event at which ITU Member States decide on the future role of the organization, thereby determining the organization’s ability to influence and affect the development of Information and communication technologies (ICT) worldwide.
