The Saudi Communications, Space, and Technology Commission's Digital Regulatory Academy (DRA) held the “Advanced Digital Regulatory Program" in collaboration with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), with the participation of over 50 specialists from National Regulatory Committee members and telecommunication service providers in the Kingdom.

The program aims to develop national cadres, leverage international best practices, and enhance the efficiency of the Kingdom's regulatory environment.

The training program covered the fundamentals of collaborative regulatory governance, data protection and privacy in the digital environment, strategic practices in digital regulation, and regulatory aspects of emerging technologies.

The program is part of the DRA collaborations with pioneering international organizations to achieve its strategic objectives in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector and accelerate Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation.

Meng Wanzhou on Tuesday took over from Eric Xu as the rotating chairperson of China's Huawei Technologies for the next six months, the Shenzhen-based telecoms giant and smartphone maker said.
Meng, who is also the daughter of Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei, will also continue to serve as the company's chief financial officer concurrently, Reuters reported.
The 52-year-old is taking the reins at a time when Huawei is going head-to-head with rival Apple over smartphone sales. Both companies launched their latest devices on the same day in September, with Huawei rolling out a premium tri-fold phone that costs $2,800.
Meng, described as the "Princess of Huawei" by Chinese media, was caught up in an extradition drama several years ago.
She was detained in Vancouver in December 2018 after a New York court issued an arrest warrant, saying Meng had tried to cover up attempts by Huawei-linked companies to sell equipment to Iran in breach of US sanctions.
Meng was allowed to return to China in September 2021 after reaching an agreement with US prosecutors to end a bank fraud case against her.
