The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) participated in the third meeting of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) Group, responsible for preparing for the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23), which was held in Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and concluded its work yesterday.

During the three-day meeting, the Group discussed several important issues related to radio communication, with the aim of harmonizing stances and developing common views on the key issues before the official participation in the WRC-23, which will be held under the umbrella of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) at the end of the next year in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The meeting included discussions on the WRC-23 agenda and several reports issued by the working groups under the Group. The agenda also included meetings of the five working groups under the Group, in addition to the results of the previous meetings that discussed the matters related to the radio spectrum.

The WRC is one of the most important conferences on the ITU calendar and the CRA is keen to attend it to continue playing a major role in shaping international discussions and decision-making related to spectrum issues to safeguard the national interests of the State of Qatar.
