Pleased to open #ITURDF for the CIS region in Dushanbe 🇹🇯, bringing together Member States and stakeholders to advance the region’s digital development priorities.

The outcomes of #ITUWTDC-25 set an ambitious agenda for digital development for the years ahead. Over the next two days, we will work to translate that agenda into regional action - aligning national priorities with investments, partnerships, and concrete solutions that accelerate meaningful connectivity and inclusive digital development across the CIS.

My thanks to the Government of Tajikistan for hosting us and to the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications for its continued partnership. @ITUCISRegion @UNinTajikistan
