Baku, November 17 (Xinhua) — The World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-2025) opened on Monday in the capital of Azerbaijan. This is the first time the event has been held in the South Caucasus and Central Asia region.
The conference, held at the Baku Congress Centre, brought together representatives from regulatory bodies, international organisations, and the telecommunications and information technology sectors.
As Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), noted, despite the achievements made since the previous conference, the digital divide in developing countries remains significant, particularly for women and girls.
During the conference, ITU member countries will develop a global digital development roadmap for 2026–2029. Furthermore, a regional ITU acceleration center will be opened in Baku, serving as an innovation and entrepreneurship hub, connecting the Azerbaijani capital to ITU's global digital adoption network.
The event, which runs until November 28, is attended by more than 2,000 delegates from 150 countries, including over 300 youth representatives. –0–
