Connecting the world together for 160 years. Celebrate #ITU160 with us: itu.int/160

Today, as digital and space-based services surge, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) continues fostering cooperation to bring the benefits of technologies to everyone.
Tech diplomacy today
“As ITU turns 160, our interconnected world needs cooperation more than ever,” ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin told Geneva Solutions.
