It was only less than 50 years ago when internet was created. But its extensive application has brought earth-shaking changes to the human society. It is the most dynamic and potential field in current times.

Internet plus, online-shopping, web of things, smart manufacture has been affecting all the aspects of human life. At the same time, the unbalanced development, incomplete rules, unreasonable order in the field of internet have become more and more prominent. The information gap has become larger. Cyber crime, cyber attack, and cyber terrorism have become common hazard faced by the international community.

The internet has turned the world into an earth village and make countries in the world an intertwined community of common future. In the face of these problems and challenges, the international community should deepen cooperation, enhance consultation and make joint efforts to form a community of common future in cyberspace.

We should uphold the basic principle of cyber sovereignty and work together to push for the making of international rules and regulations in cyber technology, security and other fields, promote innovation and popularization of internet technology, expand exchanges of culture by internet, tackle the cyber security threats and share the common opportunities and fruits brought by the internet. We should build well this common home, make it carry human’s dream in a better way and bring more benefits to the people in the world.

At the invitation of China, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Tonga Honorable Sovaleni attended this Wuzhen Summit again and made a speech on behalf of the small developing island countries as one of the guests of honor. Honorable Sovaleni applauded China for hosting this world internet conference and the achievements the conference has made. He expressed concern over the cyber security and privacy.

He emphasized that the accessibility of the internet and ICT technology should be increased so that it will benefit all. All countries should not only promote economic growth by using the cyber technology, but also pay attention to the appeal of the small developing island countries including Tonga and help them address challenges they face.

Meanwhile, people-to-people and cultural exchanges among countries should be strengthened through the application of the cyber technology. On the margins of the conference, Honorable Sovaleni also had bilateral meetings with Honorable Xu Lin, Minister of Cyber Administration and Honorable Libin, Minister of Health and Family planning of China.
