World Amateur Radio Day
To celebrate World Amateur Radio Day, Secretary-General Bogdan-Martin connected from ITU's Amateur Radio Station 4U1ITU in Geneva to other operators in Mauritius, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. An amateur radio operator herself, she said: ''Today, we honor all the many achievements of the amateur radio community, from bringing more young people on board with this fascinating hobby, to responding to all kinds of emergency situations, to helping to keep people safe. 'Human Security for All' is this year's theme – because everyone has a right to feel safe and secure in the physical world, on the airwaves, and online.''
