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.
