Plenipotentiary Conference (Málaga-Torremolinos, 1973)

14 September - 25 October 1973 - Malaga-Torremolinos, Spain

The Plenipotentiary Conference held in Malaga-Torremolinos in 1973 decided to celebrate “World Telecommunication Day” every year on 17 May – the anniversary of the founding of the Union. The Conference also recognized the success of the TELECOM 71 exhibition organized for the first time in 1971, and laid down directives for organizing similar exhibitions periodically under the sponsorship of the Union and in collaboration with the Union’s members.

Developing countries played a fundamental role at this Conference. For the first time in the history of the ITU, discussions were dominated by problems concerning the developing countries.
