New ITU Secretary-General

ITU members have elected Mr Hamadoun Toure of Mali as Secretary-General of the ITU for a four-year term. Mr Toure told the 1500 delegates from around the world that he would work with transparency, objectivity and vigour to realize the two main objectives that were central to his campaign: to eliminate the digital divide and to ensure that cyberspace would become more secure. Mr Toure was, until the election, the ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau Director. Congratulations Mr Toure!
