China News Agency, Bali, Indonesia, November 16 (Reporter Guo Jinchao) On November 16, local time, the 17th summit of the G20 leaders continued to be held in Bali, Indonesia.
Chinese President Xi Jinping attended and delivered a speech.
When discussing the issue of digital transformation, Xi Jinping pointed out that at present, the scale of the digital economy is expanding and the global digital transformation is accelerating, which has become an important factor affecting the world economic structure.
During China's hosting of the G20 Hangzhou Summit, the digital economy was included in the G20 agenda for the first time, proposing innovative development methods and tapping growth momentum.
In recent years, the G20 has reached more consensus and promoted more cooperation in adapting to digital transformation and developing the digital economy.
It is hoped that all parties can stimulate the vitality of digital cooperation so that the fruits of digital economic development can benefit the people of all countries.
First, we must uphold multilateralism and strengthen international cooperation.
Work together to create an open, inclusive, fair, just, and non-discriminatory digital economy development environment, promote international cooperation in digital industrialization and industrial digitization, and unleash the potential of the digital economy to promote global growth.
Building up so-called "small courtyards and high walls" to restrict or hinder scientific and technological cooperation is harmful to others and not in line with the common interests of the international community.
Second, we must insist on giving priority to development and bridge the digital divide.
All countries should work together to promote connectivity in the digital age, take effective measures to improve the digital skills and literacy of all people, especially help developing countries and vulnerable groups integrate into the wave of digitalization, and strive to bridge the digital divide.
China has launched the initiative to build a digital silk road, and regards the digital economy as a key cooperation area of the global development initiative, and looks forward to cooperating with all parties in this regard.
Third, we must adhere to the drive of innovation to help the post-epidemic recovery.
China has put forward the "G20 Digital Innovation Cooperation Action Plan", which aims to promote the innovative application of digital technology and realize the inclusive sharing of innovation results. All parties are welcome to actively participate.
China is willing to continue to cooperate with the members of the G20 to build a global digital economy pattern featuring inclusive balance, coordination and inclusiveness, win-win cooperation and common prosperity.
The summit adopted the "G20 Leaders' Bali Summit Declaration".
On the evening of November 15 local time, Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan attended the welcome dinner of the G20 Leaders Summit hosted by Indonesian President Joko Widodo and his wife Iriana at Garuda Widodo.
Wang Yi, He Lifeng and others participated in relevant activities.
