Thankful, honored & so excited to have been re-elected as Secretary-General of @ITU. I appreciate the trust to continue leading our #OneITU journey to ensure digital transformation serves humanity first & to build together a digital future that works for everyone, everywhere.

My heartfelt thanks & appreciation to the State & people of Qatar for welcoming the @ITU family to Doha with such kindness and gracious hospitality. And to everyone who has spent months working behind the scenes to prepare for #Plenipot — THANK YOU! @CRAqatar @GCOQatar @MI

Presenting our plans with the Swiss Confederation for #GenevaDigitalWeek 2027: endless opportunities to engage as the Geneva AI Summit, #WSISForum & @AIforGood Global Summit will make Geneva the world’s AI capital once again—turning cooperation into benefits for all of humanity.

Today, we celebrate what the #Partner2Connect community has made possible, & the work still ahead. To every pledger: thank you for your leadership, trust & commitment. We've come far but 2 billion people are still waiting. Let's write the next chapter of P2C... together!

Another great chance yesterday to reaffirm our long-standing partnership with Japan! Thank you for investing not only in technology, but also in people, supporting a 2nd cohort of ITU Young Professionals to become tomorrow’s digital leaders.

Great way to start the day launching the Human Library of Digital Diplomacy & discussing a future without limits for women in tech at PP-26 Network of Women Breakfast in Doha. My advice? Don’t shy away from the seemingly impossible. Opportunity can come when you least expect it!

#Plenipot is our chance to make @ITU stronger, more resilient & ready for what comes next. An ITU that not only keeps pace with change, but helps shape it. And turns digital progress into real opportunities for people around the world.

No country can meet the challenges of a transformed digital world alone. Affordability, skills, spectrum, standards, cybersecurity, and resilience are all interconnected. Decisions made here in #Doha will shape our digital future for generations to come.

Three weeks of key digitals decisions ahead of us -from connectivity to space & beyond. Today, a chance to speak with local & int'l media, sharing insights on what's at stake at #Plenipot. Thank you for bringing these discussions to audiences far beyond the PP halls here in Doha.

We open #Plenipot at a moment of extraordinary digital progress. New frontiers. Shared responsibilities. One ITU, working together for a connected digital future, that benefits all people, everywhere. For the next three weeks, your voice will help set the course of our Union.

A beautiful moment as we prepare to open the doors to #Plenipot in Doha!

What kind of policies, partnerships & investments are needed to make connectivity meaningful and universal?

A Sunday like no other at #MWC26 Doha, packed with inspiring discussions on connectivity, AI, digital resilience, space & more!  @GSMA

For generations, the majlis has been a space for open dialogue & shared wisdom. The Ministerial Roundtable draws on this tradition of gathering around a common table, reminding us that a more inclusive & sustainable digital future is shaped by the choices we make together.

How we can ensure that tech & AI innovation works for all of the humanity? Inspiring to hear from Ministers at #MWC26 today, on how countries are advancing meaningful connectivity, making critical infrastructure choices & working together to expand digital opportunities.

Just 1 day to go until we open the doors to @ITU #Plenipot in Doha!

Our ambition: connecting the unconnected & ensuring the whole world benefits from digital technologies.

Inspiring to see the creativity, technologies & ideas on display at the #MWC26 Doha Exhibition, bringing together talent & expertise from across the world - a true celebration of innovation and collaboration in the heart of Doha. Congrats @GSMA & partners!

Happy Diwali to all those celebrating! May the festival of lights bringing us closer to each other with a sense of hope, purpose and harmony.

Great discussion with @VivekBadrinath at the opening of #MWC26 Doha. Looking forward to continuing the conversation on connecting the world at ITU #Plenipot, at this unique time when the global policy community and tech industry have come together in Qatar.

Great to see the partnership between @ITU & Kazakhstan deepen with today's signing of a new MoU to fund Junior Professional Officers working on AI at ITU. We also look forward to further engaging with Kazakhstan through ITU's #Partner2Connect initiative.

The ITU Council is shaped by people, who believe in what they do & spare no effort to move the world forward. As we conclude the final meeting of 2026 session, I am thankful to our Chair H.E. @bosuntijani & everyone whose dedication & hard work made this year's Council a success.
