And to make sure that all countries benefit. Over the next two days, you will be discussing how best to take advantage of the new economy, how best to deal with the challenges it poses. And we have done so with full knowledge and understanding of what is happening beyond our borders. We have shaped it to complement the initiatives of other countries' initiatives because that is the only way it can work. Business and consumers will determine whether this new digital marketplace will grow and prosper.
Governments can help in creating the right conditions for business and consumer confidence.
That is what we all hope you will be able to make progress on during this conference. I am pleased to declare this conference officially open. And I look forward to hearing from the Chair of the Conference, my Minister of Industry, that you have achieved your goals.
