At the International Bharat6G Conference 2025 (9-10 October 2025), held at the sidelines of the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025, research alliances from partner countries affirm our commitment to shaping the future of 6G wireless communication systems as a shared global endeavour. Together, we recognize that 6G will serve as the connective fabric of the future digital economy, enabling intelligent networks and services, automation, and inclusion across all sectors of society.
By working together, we can ensure that 6G is secure, open, resilient, inclusive, affordable, and sustainable—a global public good that empowers every nation and citizen. Collaboration is essential to addressing pressing challenges and maximizing the opportunities available to the world for achieving our socio-economic and environmental goals.

We therefore declare our shared intention to align research, development, standardization, and deployment around the following principles for 6G by design:

1. Trusted and Secure Technology

6G networks must be secure and trustworthy-by-design, ensuring resilience across hardware, software, and supply chains. Trusted ecosystems should safeguard national security and public safety, while protecting civil liberties and individual rights. Risk mitigation must address growing complexity, critical infrastructure dependence, and the rise of AI-native functions in telecom systems, with safeguards for data protection, transparency, and accountability across their lifecycle.

2. Resilience, Reliability, and Privacy
