it is crucial to ensure that we take a holistic and long-term view and attend to the policy objectives in all areas. It should be noted that when addressing ICT challenges, security and development should be paid equal attention. In the digital age,ICT security and economic development not only build upon, but also support each other. We should hold on to the master key of development in addressing security challenges, further our dedication to bridging digital gap, pay more attention to the need of developing states and take tangible moves to address disparate development. At the same time, we should create a fair,just and non-discriminatory environment for the development of ICT, and prevent the generalization and abuse of "national security concerns" especially as a pretext to suppress other states' rightful economic and technical development. Fourth, we should establish just and fair international rules and norms in cyberspace. Formulating universally accepted rules and norms are the key to maintaining peace and stability in cyberspace. The United Nations, as the most representative and authoritative international organization, should play a leading role in this regard. The initiation of both OEWG and UNGGE this year highlights the necessity and urgency for the international community to further discussion and build consensus on relevant issues. In the long run, to ensure the broadest participation by states in the formulation of international rules in cyberspace, it is imperative to establish an open, inclusive and permanent process under the UN framework. Dear colleagues. The OEWG is the first intergovernmental process on ICT security that is open to all member states of the UN, and today's meeting is the first time for a majority of states, especially developing ones, to make their voices heard on ICT security at the UN. I would like to take the chance of this monumental meeting and share a few thoughts on the work ofthe OEWG.
