Dhiraagu has announced the successful hosting of the SEA-ME-WE 6 Global Consortium Meeting in Malé, held from 7 to 11 September. The gathering brought together leading international stakeholders to review the progress and future of the SEA-ME-WE 6 submarine cable system.
The SEA-ME-WE 6 project, which links Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Western Europe, is set to play a crucial role in enhancing global connectivity.
