After the inauguration, he inspected the exhibition at the venue, accompanied by Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. This is the first time the ITU-WTSA has been hosted in India and the Asia-Pacific

Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a fervent pitch for framing of a global digital framework, with clear-cut dos and don'ts for ethical use of technology

Speaking at the inauguration of the International Telecommunication Union - WTSA and India Mobile Congress, he said just like the aviation sector, where the global community has framed a comprehensive framework, the digital world too needs rules and regulations

Talking of India's experience, he said after the expeditious roll out, 5G telecom services are now available in most places across the country and work on 6G has already begun

Giving out statistics, the Prime Minister said India has in the last decade become an exporter of mobile phones from being an importer, and has laid an optic fibre network that is eight-time more than the distance between earth and the moon
