DOHA: The appointment of a Malaysian representative as chair of Committee 5 at the 2026 International Telecommunication Union Plenipotentiary Conference (ITU PP-26) reflects the international community’s confidence in the country’s ability to play an impartial role in balancing the interests of various parties.
Committee chair Eneng Faridah Iskandar said the appointment was not merely a personal recognition but a major achievement for the country.
“I believe this is not just an achievement for an individual, but actually an achievement for the country, as Malaysia is seen as a neutral nation that is open to the views of all parties.
“As chair, our responsibility is to balance the interests and aspirations of all parties. Therefore, we must be fair,” she told Bernama and RTM here today.
