01:18between the governments of the People's Republic of China

01:22and the governments of Malaysia

01:29So, today's summit is one of the important contents

01:34of the Science and Technology People-to-People Exchange Program.

01:39I believe that scientists and entrepreneurs from both countries

01:50and jointly create a better life for the people of both countries.

01:56This summit is particularly meaningful

01:59as it marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations

02:03between Malaysia and China.

02:08our nations have built a strong foundation of friendship and cooperation.

02:13Today, as we celebrate this milestone,

02:16we look forward to deepening our partnership,

02:19especially in science, technology and innovation.

02:23As we are aware, the rapidly changing landscape

02:26of technology driven by advancements

02:29such as Artificial Intelligence, AI,

02:32has significantly transformed how we operate and interact.

02:36While these technologies hold immense potential,

02:40they have also widened the gap

02:43in science, technology, innovation and STI development

02:46between developed and developing countries.

02:49Disparities in access to cutting-edge technologies,

02:53expertise and resources have become more pronounced,

02:57posing a significant challenge for equitable progress.

03:02However, through strategic partnership,

03:05we can work solidistically to bridge this gap

03:08by combining our resources

03:11and complementing each other's strengths,

03:14we can ensure that the benefits of technological advancements

03:18are shared more equitably.

03:20I strongly believe that this summit,

03:23which launches a series of collaborative projects,

03:26will serve as an excellent starting point

03:29to create a synergy that brings mutual benefits

03:33to all parties involved,

03:35ensuring that no one is left behind in the technology revolution.

03:39Representing our collective commitment
