Accra, Nov. 9, GNA – Ghana is leveraging its participation in Mobile World Congress (MWC) Doha 2026 to strengthen international partnerships and advance its digital transformation agenda.
The three-day congress, which opened in Doha, Qatar, on Sunday, brings together global telecommunications leaders, policymakers and industry stakeholders to discuss emerging technologies, connectivity, digital innovation and the future of the digital economy.
A statement issued by the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations said Mr Samuel Nartey George, the sector Minister, joined the opening ceremony and a series of high-level engagements aimed at promoting Ghana’s interests within the global telecommunications and digital governance landscape.
The opening ceremony, held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), was organised by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
As part of his engagements, Mr George participated in the Digital Leadership Forum, an industry panel session examining developments in the telecommunications sector, and the GSMA Ministerial Programme, which brought together ministers, heads of delegation, international organisations and industry leaders to discuss the future of connectivity.
He is also expected to participate in the State of Qatar Ministerial Roundtable, where ministers and senior representatives will discuss the role of digital transformation in promoting an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future.
The statement said Ghana’s participation in the congress offered an opportunity to deepen bilateral relations and forge strategic partnerships with countries and international institutions.
Mr George’s programme includes bilateral meetings with counterparts from the Bahamas and Kenya to discuss matters of mutual interest, voting and candidacies, and the harmonisation of policy positions.
He is also expected to attend an informal meeting of heads of delegation ahead of formal proceedings and participate in the Commonwealth Evening Reception hosted by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation.
The statement said the engagements reflected Ghana’s commitment to international collaboration, digital innovation and policies aimed at expanding connectivity and creating opportunities for citizens and businesses.
