Historical reference: The Regional Commonwealth in the field of Communications (the RCC) was created on December 17, 1991 by the Communications Administrations Heads of the independent states in Moscow. On that day they signed the Agreement for Creation of the RCC — the organization to conduct cooperation of the new independent states in the field of electrical and postal communications based on free-will, mutual respect and sovereignty.

For 20 years of its activity the RCC proved its worth and coped with its original tasks. Thanks to the cooperation within the RCC the significant contribution was made to the development of legal and legislative framework of participating countries in the field of communications and Informatization. They established the mechanisms of exchanging the experience on the vital problems of telecommunication development and introduction of information technology.
