Samsung Global Chief to Visit India in Nov for Digital India

India for Global Control on Telecomm thru ITU

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 Ravi Shankar Prasad while he led the Indian delegation at the inaugural of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Conference at Busan in 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.

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.
