KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 25): Malaysia will participate in the International Telecommunication Union Plenipotentiary Conference 2022 (ITU PP22) in Bucharest, Romania starting Monday (Sept 26) until Oct 14. ITU PP22, which will be participated by 181 countries, is very special and significant for the country because Malaysia will bid for a seat in ITU Council under Region E (Asia and Australasia) for 2023-2026 term, he said. Therefore, in addition to organising a reception on Sept 29, Annuar said he and the Malaysian delegation would spend their time there to meet their counterparts to garner support for Malaysia. Annuar said Malaysia's direct involvement in the ITU PP22 conference would have a major impact on local experts who would benefit from ITU's telecommunications and ICT development programmes. Others are Malaysian Ambassador to Romania, Tengku Datuk Sirajuzzaman Tengku Mohamed Ariffin; as well as representatives from telecommunications network providers such as Telekom Malaysia Bhd, Maxis Bhd, DiGi, as well as MEASAT.
