After a demanding and productive week in Victoria Falls, we have come to the end of the Second African Preparatory Meeting for the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2026. What began as preparatory work has now taken firmer shape, with the delegations bringing dedication, commitment and expertise to the proposals, priorities and to the steps that will guide the continent’s road to Doha.

We remain grateful to the Government and people of Zimbabwe, the Ministry of ICT, Postal and Courier Services, Zimbabwe and the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) for the warm hospitality and support extended to all delegations. Our appreciation also goes to ITU, PP26 host nation - Qatar, Member States, regional organisations, Associate Members and partners for their valuable contribution to this important work.

On the sidelines of the ongoing ITU Council, Secretary General John Omo held a bilateral meeting with Her Excellency Ms. Clara Delgado Jesus, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Republic of Cabo Verde to the United Nations.

The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss how ATU can work more closely with Cabo Verde to strengthen the country’s participation in the activities of the International Telecommunication Union and support greater benefit from ITU programmes, processes and platforms.

The discussion also touched on membership-related matters and the practical steps that can support Cabo Verde’s sustained participation in ATU’s regional coordination work and in the wider processes of the ITU.

ATU remains within reach, never more than a telephone call away for African countries seeking to connect national digital priorities with regional coordination and global ICT decision-making.
