A key message was the importance of moving from broad commitments towards partnerships built around concrete needs, clear roles and measurable results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udea8 Strengthening Early Warning Systems in Tajikistan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate session on next-generation ICT infrastructure and emerging technologies, Tair presented GSMA activities in Eurasia, highlighting the role of mobile networks in supporting digital development and resilient connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One practical example is GSMA\u2019s work on Early Warning Systems in Tajikistan, where GSMA is currently conducting a readiness assessment for a Cell Broadcast-based Early Warning System. The project will help assess the country\u2019s readiness and identify key considerations for using mobile networks to deliver timely emergency alerts to people at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussions demonstrated how regional cooperation can translate into practical initiatives that strengthen connectivity, resilience and digital inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GSMA continues to work with the ITU, governments, regulators and mobile operators across Eurasia, sharing global expertise and supporting practical projects that advance the region\u2019s digital development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/about-us\/regions\/eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ITU_3_1200x628-1024x536.png\" alt=\"Seven people in business attire stand on stage in front of a blue backdrop for the ITU Regional Development Forum, with event details in English and Russian, and a world map graphic.
