A Ghanaian delegation led by Deputy Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations Mohammed Adams Sukparu has participated in the opening of the 26th Global Symposium for Regulators in Ankara, Turkey, as the country moves to assert a stronger role in shaping international digital governance frameworks.

The symposium brings together regulators, policymakers, technology executives, and industry experts from across the world to address pressing issues in the global digital economy, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance, spectrum management, digital inclusion, and cross-border data flows. Ghana’s attendance is part of broader efforts to position the country as an active contributor to global conversations on telecommunications regulation and digital innovation rather than simply a recipient of externally shaped policy frameworks.

Speaking on the sidelines of the forum, Sukparu reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to inclusive digital transformation, regulatory cooperation, and innovation-driven economic growth. The Ministry has identified digital infrastructure expansion, cybersecurity enhancement, and support for technology startups as central pillars of the government’s digital strategy.

The delegation is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with international stakeholders during the conference to explore investment opportunities and partnerships within Ghana’s digital sector, extending the visit beyond participation into active commercial engagement.

Ghana is currently implementing the Digital Ghana Agenda, a government-led programme to accelerate the use of technology across education, healthcare, agriculture, and public administration. The symposium in Ankara continues over the coming days with policy roundtables, technical workshops and high-level discussions on the future of global digital regulation.
