Zhao Long:
Friends from the press, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.
I am very pleased to brief you about the preparations for the 3rd Digital China Summit. First of all, on behalf of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee and the Fujian provincial government, I sincerely extend my invitation to you all to visit Fujian province and Fuzhou city, and experience the vitality and infinite charm brought by digital China.
Twenty years ago, when General Secretary Xi Jinping worked in Fujian, he established a major strategic and forward-looking plan for the construction of digital Fujian, which was the prelude to the construction of digital China. In the past two decades, we have seen the development of digital Fujian and digital China; and China, as one of the world's key players in cyberspace, has set out a national strategy for cyber development. Under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thoughts on cyber development, we have fostered new growth drivers based on information technologies, which in turn promote new development and create new glory. The construction of digital China is now showing great vitality. At this historic moment, it is of great significance to hold the 3rd Digital China Summit. Under the careful guidance of the relevant ministries and commissions such as the Cyberspace Administration of China, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we will go all out to do our best in preparing for the summit and strive to come out with new features, new results, and new influences.
First, we will highlight high-tech and smart conferences. In line with the development trends of pandemic prevention and control as well as digital exhibitions, the summit will set up a "cloud summit" platform to broadcast the grand scenes of the summit simultaneously online and offline. As for the achievement exhibition, we will simultaneously launch a "cloud exhibition" to fully demonstrate the latest achievements in the construction of digital China through cloud computing, virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and other methods. We will use new technologies such as touch-free face recognition and digital identity authentication to further improve our conference services. Smart application scenarios including full 5G coverage, subway facial recognition, and smart parking lots will be unveiled during the summit, allowing guests to experience the limitless capabilities of digital empowerment.
Second, we will hold colorful activities. We will arrange a series of exciting and fascinating activities at the 3rd Digital China Summit, focusing on the development and application of digital technologies such as AI, big data, cloud computing, and blockchain. The NDRC will also release hundreds of application scenarios for the digital economy and launch the digital transformation partnership action among the second batch of enterprises. Meanwhile, the National Health Commission will host a special exhibition on the "Application of Digital Technologies for Epidemic Prevention and Control," displaying the achievements of how digital technologies can be applied to coordinate the advancement of epidemic prevention and control as well as economic and social development, and showing the great anti-epidemic spirit. Leading enterprises in the industry such as Huawei, Alibaba, and Tencent will hold special ecological exhibitions to showcase their latest scientific and technological achievements, and 50% of their new products at the summit will be unveiled for the first time. The summit will host a main forum with the theme of "innovation drives digital transformation, intelligence leads high-quality development" as well as 12 sub-forums that span topics such as e-government, digital economy, blockchain and financial technologies, and digital ecology. A group of heavyweight guests will deliver visionary speeches, looking forward together to a bright future for China's cyber development, a digital China, and a smart society. The summit will also host other important events such as the mayors' dialogue on digital cities, an academicians summit, a dialogue on the future, and an innovation contest, to introduce guests to new technologies.
Third, we will give full play to the role of the summit as a platform. During the summit, we will introduce activities related to the 20th anniversary of the construction of digital Fujian. We will invite guest provinces Hainan, Shandong and Henan to introduce their outstanding achievements in digital construction and industrial development. We will provide a more open platform for deepening government-enterprise and enterprise-enterprise exchange and cooperation, and promote the signing of digital economy deals by various localities during the summit.
Media friends, digital technology has risen strong and digital applications are infinitely attractive — the digital future is full of vitality. The 3rd Digital China Summit will kick off in 25 days. For it, we will practice General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thoughts on cyber development and major expositions on digital China, and present a wonderful, high-quality event. We sincerely welcome all old and new friends to gather in Fujian to renew their friendship and jointly contribute wisdom and strength to the construction of digital China. Digital Fujian welcomes you!
Thanks again to our media friends for your long-term care and support for the economic and social development of Fujian. Thank you all!
