Sir/Madam,
In accordance with Article 25 of the ITU Convention,
Section 3 of the General Rules of Conferences,
assemblies and meetings of the Union and Resolution
145 (Antalya, 2006), I have great pleasure in
inviting your organization to participate, as
observer, in the World Telecommunication Development
Conference (WTDC-10), to be held in Hyderabad
(India) at the Hyderabad International Convention
Centre (HICC) from 24 May to 4 June 2010 at the kind
invitation of the Government of India.
World Telecommunication Development Conferences (WTDC)
are convened every four years in the period between
two Plenipotentiary Conferences. Their aim is to
provide a forum for the consideration of topics,
projects and programmes relevant to
telecommunication development.
WTDC-10 will mark the culmination of a series of
regional preparatory meetings (RPM) and will be an
essential step in assessing the progress achieved in
the implementation of the ambitious action plan
launched in 2006 in Doha. WTDC-10 will adopt a
declaration, a strategic plan and an action plan
that will pave the way to building on the
foundations of a truly global information society
for all.
A high-level segment will also be held within the
framework of WTDC-10 to provide a privileged
platform to leaders and decision-makers to provide
their views on emerging trends and on issues of
strategic importance to the development of the
telecommunication sector. Side-events are also
planned alongside WTDC-10. Details on these events
will be provided as time draws nearer the
Conference.
The agenda for WTDC-10, as approved by Council with
the concurrence of the required majority of Member
States, is contained in
Annex 1
and the draft of the structure of the
Conference in Annex 2.
To assist with the preparations for this important
event, please let me know as soon as possible,
but in any event not later than 24 January 2010,
whether you intend to participate and, what your
requirements will be regarding conference documents
by completing and returning
Annex 3.
Practical details concerning registration can be
found in
Annex 4.
I very much look forward to your participation.
Yours sincerely,
