The Mission of the SAMENA Telecommunications Council is to provide a unified, consensus-based platform and voice for leading operators and service providers in the South Asia/ Middle East/ North Africa region, in order to interact, network, and collaborate with each other and with regulatory bodies, ministries, manufacturers, and suppliers in an unbiased working environment. SAMENA offers a non-profit, multi-objective structure to facilitate such consensus-building and cooperation, and strives to address diversified interests of telecom operators throughout the region by allowing for free exchange of information and ideas. The Council, as the ultimate, regionally-oriented and operator-driven forum, clearinghouse, and advocate, will communicate the common viewpoints and recommendations of its Members to the established national, regional, and international organizations and institutions on important issues regarding telecommunications and economic developments, regulations, and policies.
 

By providing a forum to foster economic growth and to aid collaboration on technical projects and business, legal, and regulatory issues, SAMENA allows its Members to benefit from the fruits of mutual cooperation and resolve. The Council convenes conferences, conducts educational and technical seminars, and membership meetings to promote Member networking. SAMENA seeks to serve as the incubator for next-generation telecommunications concepts and technologies in the region, and to forge common solutions which can then be implemented for the benefit of all of its Members.
