“At the same time, it raises new ethical and governance challenges that we must address together,” he said.
He added that he hoped the expo would serve as a platform to address objectives that aligned with the “Asean vision for resilience and prosperity”.
Among which included building sustainable industries and fostering regional cooperation for information communications technology (ICT) and cybersecurity.
