According to a release from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications (Minpostel), Jean-Pierre Biyiti bi Essam, visited last weekend Busan in South Korea, as the head of a delegation to take part in a Plenipotentiaries conference of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

Aboubakar Zourmba, Deputy Director general of the Agency of regulation of telecommunications (ART) received on October 18, a gold medal, representing, according to the ITU Secretary-General, Dr Hamadoun Touré, the professionalism and the skill with which he conducted the work of the ITU 2014Council edition in his capacity as president.

It is worth noting that during the Foundation of Busan, Cameroon will again present its application for the renewal of his seat on the Board of Directors of the international forum of telecommunications.

Specialized agency of the United Nations, the Union has as mission to promote growth and sustainable development of telecommunications and information networks and to facilitate universal access so that everyone can participate in the economy and the global information society and benefit from their advantages.

The ability to communicate freely is a prerequisite for the existence of a fairer, more prosperous and more peaceful world. ITU helps mobilize technical, financial and human resources required to make this project a reality.

One of the main priorities is to reduce the 'digital divide' by putting in place an infrastructure of information and communication, promoting capacity-building and increasing confidence in the use of cyberspace through a better online security.

Ensuring cyber security and cyber peace is part of the most decisive issues of the information age, and ITU takes these to effect concrete measures in the context of its global cyber security Programme.
