Mohamed Ezzedine Mili (4 December 1917 – 5 August 2013) was a Tunisian diplomat who served as the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union from 1967 to 1982, including an ad interim tenure from 1967 to 1973.
[3] From 1956, Mili led the Tunisian delegation at many of ITU’s major events, including the Plenipotentiary Conferences of 1959 and 1965, the Plenary Assemblies of the International Telephone and Telegraph Consultative Committee (CCITT) of 1958, 1960 and 1964, and the Plenary Assembly of the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR) in 1963.
He was also active in several CCITT study groups, notably those that dealt with telephone switching and signalling and the worldwide automatic and semi-automatic telephone network, and in CCIR study groups in the areas of space systems and radio astronomy and radio-relay systems.
Mili was elected Secretary-General of ITU at the subsequent Plenipotentiary Conference in Malaga-Torremolinos, Spain, in 1973, and served in this position until 31 December 1982.
For this purpose, he created the Department of Technical Cooperation to help these countries improve their telecommunication infrastructure and networks.
