The signing ceremony took place on March 4 in Barcelona, Spain, on the sidelines of MWC-2026.

The Memorandum of Understanding between the RCC and the GSMA aims to foster regional cooperation among "digital" ministries, regulatory bodies, mobile industry stakeholders, and international organizations. The goal is to accelerate digital transformation, advance communications, and drive innovation across Eurasia.

The strengthening of cooperation between the RCC and the GSMA — a valued member and reliable partner of the Commonwealth — will facilitate the exchange of knowledge on advanced regulatory policy and practice in the telecommunications industry, as well as on the development of industry statistics. This enhanced partnership will also contribute to the celebration of the RCC's 35th anniversary in 2026 and support preparations for the M360 Eurasia conference, to be held in May in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

The Memorandum was signed by:

•  Mr. Tair Ismailov (Strategic Engagement Director Russia & CIS Region: Europe, GSMA)
