In view of the concern of the spread of the COVID-19 in Asia-Pacific region and across the world, the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) has decided to postpone some of APT work programmes scheduled to be held during the first quarter of 2020 to later months and also organise virtual meetings for some work programmes.   

To provide an online platform for communicating closely with APT members during this difficult situation, APT will organize a series of “APT Web Dialogue” starting from 18 May 2020.      

The “APT Web Dialogue” is aimed to facilitate discussion and sharing of information, knowledge and experiences among the APT members as well as to provide an opportunity for coordination on issues if necessary. This initiative will serve as a good and flexible communication tool for the APT members.
