India wants democratisation and broad-basing of the
global affairs of telecommunications and internet governance. This was
the main message taken forward by the Minister for Communications and
Information Technology Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad while he led the Indian
delegation at the inaugural of the International Telecommunications
Union (ITU) Conference at Busan in South Korea. The Conference was
inaugurated by the President of South Korea. India’s point is that ITU
should take leadership and partner with UN and other
International/Regional organizations in executing the Information and
Communication Technology projects and programs in developing countries.
India also wants the ITU to be the supervisory authority of Space
Assets. India expressed its desire that ITU should play a more active
role in the global Internet governance as envisaged during the World
Summit on Information Society (WSIS).
The Indian delegation has been participating in The Plenipotentiary Conference, which is the top policy-making body of the 193 member strong International Telecommunications Union. It meets once in every four years. India has also been pitching for a re-election into the ITU Council.
During the visit, the Minister also met the President and the CEO of Samsung SDI Co. Ltd. Mr. Sang Jin Park in Seoul. The Minister shared the ideas of ‘Digital India’ and the initiative of ‘Make In India’, of the present Indian government with the CEO. The CEO was curious about the changed business environment in India and he informed the Minister about his proposed visit to India next month. The minister also met various other business leaders in the fields of electronics, communication and Information technology.
