India eyes key role in global 6G, satcom policymaking

Officials said G20 has been used as a platform to drive India's vision, and ensure it does not miss out on talks shaping up the next set of global policies on technology.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the first Area Office & Innovation Centre of ITU in India on Wednesday. Sources said he may announce a 6G vision document at the event.

A parallel Ministers' Communication Conclave of the neighbouring and G20 nations would also take place.

ITU is the United Nations' specialised agency for information and communications technology (ICT).

India has firmly set its sight on ITU, recently winning a key segment of elections at ITU's Radio Regulations Board (RRB), the top body administering frequency allocation to nations and resolving disputes.
