The 2025 World Internet Conference (WIC) Asia-Pacific Summit opened on Monday in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attracting nearly 1,000 participants from around the globe to explore future development and potentials across various domains in digital technology.

The two-day summit was held under the theme of "Integration of AI and Digital Technologies Shaping the Future - Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace."

Apart from the opening ceremony and the main forum, this summit also holds sub-forums on topics such as large-scale AI models, digital finance, and smart living, to discuss the latest trends in the technology sector, share experiences, deepen cooperation, and shape new dynamics and advantages for development in the Asia-Pacific region.

"The Asia-Pacific Summit held in Hong Kong for the first time will bring very rare opportunities for the future of Hong Kong. For the coordination between Hong Kong and the mainland, especially in technological innovation, the mutual empowerment of talent, and industry integration, it should be said that they reinforce each other and promote integrated development," said Zhang Donggang, Party (Communist Party of China) committee chief, Renmin University of China.

In addition, there were government-enterprise exchange meetings, multiple seminars on AI governance and global sustainable development, and other activities during the summit.

A total of 11 research reports, including "Empowering Global Sustainable Development with Universally Beneficial and Inclusive Artificial Intelligence Governance," were also released during the summit.

Since its inception in 2014, the WIC has been held annually in Wuzhen, in east China's Zhejiang Province. Originally launched as a yearly event, the WIC evolved into an international organization in July 2022. Headquartered in Beijing, it is dedicated to global internet governance and committed to building a high-level dialog platform for the global internet community.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with his Indonesian counterpart Sugiono in Beijing on Monday, with both sides hailing the robust growth of bilateral ties.

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations, Wang said that China and Indonesia should jointly develop emerging industries like green energy and the digital economy, as well as expand mutually beneficial cooperation.

Wang highlighted key projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway and "Two Countries, Twin Parks" as benchmarks for connectivity.

The Chinese foreign minister said both sides should uphold free trade, promote two-way investment, and build a secure, stable, and smooth industrial and supply chain.

Wang added that China is willing to import more Indonesian products, and that he hopes the Indonesian government will safeguard the rights and interests of Chinese-funded institutions and personnel in Indonesia.

Sugiono said China is Indonesia's largest trading partner, and a major source of foreign investment.

He added that Indonesia is committed to comprehensively deepening its relations with China, and looks forward to strengthening exchanges at all levels.
