I am pleased to send greetings to the Connect Asia-Pacific Summit, and I thank theGovernment of Thailand for hosting.
The Asia-Pacific region is vast and diverse. It has numerous dynamic centres of innovationin manufacturing and information and communication technologies.
Many nations have experienced rapid economic growth. Yet there is stark contrast inprosperity and development between high-income countries and the least developed.
This is particularly true for landlocked developing nations and small island developing states.
Increased connectivity can help bridge this gap.
I am pleased that this Summit will promote the development of innovative ICTinfrastructure. I also welcome your focus on applications that can benefit people everywhere.
ICTs have considerable potential to support sustainable and equitable economic and socialdevelopment.
They can accelerate our efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
They can help us address global challenges such as climate change.
It is important that we make the best use of technology to empower people with theinformation, knowledge and means to improve their lives. Your Summit can help us achievethat end.
I wish you a successful meeting.
