Djibouti’s Multisectoral Regulatory Authority (ARMD), chaired by Dr Kassim Issak Osman, held three meetings this week with telecommunications regulatory officials from Morocco, France and Romania in Doha. The talks notably aim to strengthen relations between the institutions and develop the sharing of expertise, according to ADI.
With Morocco’s National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT), the Djiboutian official discussed strengthening existing cooperation and new areas of collaboration. With France’s Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications, Postal Services and Press Distribution (ARCEP), the discussions focused on current challenges in the sector, as well as exchanges of expertise and best practices, ADI reports.
The third meeting brought together Dr Kassim Issak Osman and the vice-president of the Romanian regulatory council to discuss several issues concerning telecommunications regulation and compare the experiences of the two authorities, according to ADI.
These meetings took place on the sidelines of the Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which opened on 9 November in Doha and is scheduled to run until 27 November. The conference meets every four years to set the ITU’s direction and elect its leaders, according to ADI.
