First, setting a right course. States need to highlight the priorities of
promoting peace and cooperation, and show their willingness to
jointly seek common security and common development to the
international community. With that spirit, states should explore how
to stop conflicts and arms race in cyberspace and prevent cyberspace
from being turned into a new battle ground. This is vital for
maintaining multilateral process on ICT security and the long-term
stability in cyberspace.
Second, keeping pace with the times. In face of the emerging
challenges and evolving environment of the digital world, states
should work on urgent and practical issues relevant to all. States can
discuss the specification of state sovereignty in cyberspace and
propose concrete recommendations, through which the foundation of
international rules in cyberspace can be further consolidated. States
can also probe into relevant norms and measures on global data
governance, Internet governance, supply chain security and
emerging technologies and strive for visible outcomes. Moreover,
efforts should be made to foster international cooperation and
assistance on ICT security and bridge digital divide.
Third, focusing on the future. A long-term plan for Internet
governance is necessary and important. States should take this
opportunity to discuss the establishment of a permanent and
sustainable process under the UN framework for the interests of
long-lasting peace and stability in cyberspace.
The Chinese side looks forward to working with all parties and
delivering more outcomes from this meeting.
Thank you, Mr. President.
