Minister Censu Galea attends ITU Conference in America

The Hon. Censu Galea, Minister for Transport and Communications, today left Malta at the head of a delegation attending the ITU Conference in Minneapolis, USA.

The ITU is the World Body that has responsibility for the Regulation and Development of Telecommunications Worldwide. Malta’s association with ITU started 3 decades ago and was strengthened in the 1980’s and 90’s, notably following the successful implementation of the 1989-2000 Master Plan for Telecom development. At the previous ITU Conference, Malta was chosen to host the 2^nd World Telecom Development Conference, which in fact took place in Valletta, earlier this year.

The Minister will address the Conference tomorrow, Thursday 15^th October 1998.

On Monday 19^th October 1998, Minister Galea will be meeting Mr. William O’Neil, Secretary General of the IMO (International Maritime Organization) to discuss matters in relation to Malta’s ever growing international fleet. The meeting will be held at the IMO headquarters in London.
