The creation of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) resulted from the joining of the Conventions of the International Telegraph Union (created in 1865) and the International Radiotelegraph Union (created in 1906) at Madrid in 1932. In 1947 at Atlantic City the ITU entered into an agreement with the United Nations as a Specialised Agency, the oldest of the specialised agencies of the UN. The aims of the Union are to promote, maintain and extend international co-operation in the field of telecommunications.
