This year’s WTSA-24 was held in New Delhi, India, from October 15 to 24, 2024. The Minister for Communications and Digitalization, Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, led the Ghanaian delegation.

The metaverse, artificial intelligence, and quantum information technologies were the primary topics of discussion at the event.

Prior to WTSA-24 on October 14, 2024, a high-level forum known as the Global Standards Symposium (GSS) provided a forum for discussing the development and coordination of standards.

The ITU-T Study Groups’ work program, working methods, and structure for the 2025-2029 study period were also heavily influenced by the WTSA-24.

International mobile telecommunications, immersive and widespread real-time communications, deterministic networking, and the ambient Internet of Things (IoT) were among the important topics discussed by the Assembly.

Regional telecommunications organizations held preparatory meetings in advance of the event to consolidate regional positions on important issues.

The standards and recommendations adopted during the assembly will guide global development in telecommunications and information and communication technologies (ICTs). As a result, the outcomes of WTSA-24 will significantly shape the future.
