He hails important role of internet in economic recovery, global cooperation

China is ready to work with other countries to create a new paradigm for cybersecurity as well as a community with a shared future in cyberspace, President Xi Jinping said in a congratulatory letter to the World Internet Conference-Internet Development Forum, which opened on Monday in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province.

Xi hailed the important role of the internet in promoting economic recovery, ensuring social progress around the world and promoting international cooperation against the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, telemedicine, e-learning, sharing platforms and collaboration systems have been widely used, the letter noted.

"China is ready to work with other countries to seize the historic opportunities presented by the information revolution, foster new growth drivers through innovation, break new ground in digital cooperation, create a new pattern for cybersecurity, build a community with a shared future in cyberspace and join hands to create a brighter future for humanity," Xi said in the letter.

The two-day forum, with the theme of "Digital Empowerment for a Better Future, Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace", is very timely, said Liu Zhenmin, under-secretary-general for economic and social affairs of the United Nations.

"As the world embraces digital transformation, the need for international cooperation has become more urgent than ever. The international community welcomes China's initiative and engagement in global internet governance," he said at the forum's opening ceremony via video.
