Bucharest, Romania, November 1, 2022--The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Plenipotentiary Conference 2022 (PP- 22) was held from 26 September to 14 October 2022 in Bucharest, Romania. It was hosted in the actual Parliament House--a palace built by former Romanian President Nikolai Ceausescu. The Parliament House is bigger then the Pentagon and decorated like Versailles, a very comfortable venue. Over 3000 delegates from 183 of ITU’s 193 Member States, international organizations and private sector representatives gathered for three weeks to elect ITU’s top executives and bring consensus on the role of ITU in the future global ICT digital inclusive society and to ensure that the benefits of digital technology reaches out everywhere in order to help achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.
