A/68/98 33. The Group recognized that progress in securing the use of ICTs, including through capacity-building, would also contribute to the achievement of Millennium Development Goal 8, to “develop a global partnership for development”. VI. Conclusion 34. Progress in international security in the use of ICTs by States will be iterative, with each step building on the last. A technological environment shaped by change and a steady increase in the number of new ICT users make this iterative approach necessary. The present report contains recommendations that build on previous work. Their implementation and refinement will help increase confidence among all stakeholders. The Group recommends that Member States give active consideration to the report and assess how they might take up these recommendations for further development and implementation. 13-37166 11
