各位數字部長
各位閣下
尊敬的來賓
女士們、先生們
介紹
1. 感謝各位抽出時間來新加坡參加第四屆東盟數字部長會議。我們榮幸成為東道主。
2. 我的資深同事們會知道，新加坡上次主辦這次會議是在11年前，當時它被稱為「遠端通訊和資訊科技部長會議」，或簡稱「TELMIN」。改名為ADGMIN是在四年前進行的。這反映了我們的環境發生了多大的變化，以及數字技術的不可阻擋的進展。作為一個聯盟，我們決定積極應對，我們已經取得了值得稱讚的進展。
3. 今年，我們很榮幸首次歡迎東帝汶作為觀察員參加ADGSOM、ADGMIN以及其他相關會議。我也誠摯歡迎所有對話和發展夥伴。
雖然存在差異，亞盟數字部長會議已找到了以實際和有意義的方式來支援成員國的數字發展。
4. 毫無疑問，亞盟數字部長會議的相關性多年來不斷增長。數字產品和服務現已無處不在，我們隨時隨處都會接觸到。最近，生成式人工智慧引起了廣泛關注。雖然我們歡迎每一項技術進步帶來的機會，但我們也認識到它們帶來的風險。
5. 席捲全球的當前數字技術浪潮有可能在社會中播下不信任的種子，加深社會分裂。虛假資訊和錯誤資訊可能被人工智慧生成的深度偽造放大。所有政府都將面臨挑戰，以確保數字發展建立在強有力的信任基礎之上。
6. 東盟擁有約6.5億人口，是世界上最多元化的地區之一。但這並未阻止我們找到相互支援、推進各自數字發展的方式。
7. 例如，東盟是第一個也是唯一一個完全採納了聯合國提出的「網路空間中負責任國家行為規範」的地區組織。雖然這11條規則不具有約束力，但我們制定了實施指南這一事實表明了我們的認真態度和承諾。
8. 我們還推出了支援跨境資料流動的實際措施。以「東盟資料管理框架」為基礎，我們的企業可以使用一套示範合同條款來滿足所有成員國的資料保護法律要求，無論各國的制度差異如何。
9. 這些努力認識到數字領域是無邊界的。我們的企業和公民訪問的許多產品和服務都在其他地方建立和管理。無論是為了使他們能從機會中獲益，還是為了保護他們免受線上傷害，我們的政府和官員必須相互合作，既要彼此配合，也要與夥伴合作。10. 這就是為什麼東盟正在討論「數字經濟框架協議」，今年亞盟數字部長會議的主題是「建設一個包容和值得信賴的數字生態系統」。
11. 我感謝亞盟數字部長會議和TELMIN的所有前任主席為不斷積累的前進勢頭做出的貢獻。現在讓我提出一些建議，說明我們的進步基礎如何能幫助我們開創新局面。
打造一個更加一體化和互聯的數字東盟
首先，新加坡相信更加一體化、互聯互通的數字ASEAN將惠及我們所有人。如果我們能夠識別並釋放潛在的機遇，這一點尤為重要。
我們在資料方面的合作就是一個很好的例子。
值得注意的是，在2024年ADGMIN會議上，我們正在推出《EU-ASEAN國際資料傳輸示範合同條款聯合指南》。ASEAN是歐盟第三大貿易伙伴，而歐盟是ASEAN第二大投資者，在2021年向我們的經濟投資了265億美元[1]。我確信這一數字已經增長。僅新加坡就有超過14,000家歐洲企業將我們用作其地區總部、物流和配送中心。
因此，這份聯合指南對於在歐盟和ASEAN兩地運營的企業將很有用，可以幫助他們管理跨境資料流。特別是中小企業和微型企業，在進行跨境資料流的冗長合同談判時，將大大減少因資源不足而面臨的障礙。
其次，我們相信ASEAN也可以為推進人工智慧治理做出貢獻。我們所有人都有支援人工智慧採用的利益，以幫助我們的產業和企業增長。同樣，我們希望保護我們的社會免受不負責任或不道德使用人工智慧帶來的傷害。
新加坡首次與其他成員國合作制定了《ASEAN人工智慧治理和倫理指南》。這是對全球人工智慧開發者、創意工作者和政策制定者的重要訊號，要求他們在設計產品和服務或制定將對我們人民產生影響的規則時，牢記我們的需求和期望。同時，通過提出一套共同的指導方針，我們幫助你們以更具互操作性和統一的方式滿足我們的需求。
我們感謝每個成員國對該指南以及第四屆ADGMIN其他專案的大力支援和貢獻。
共同構建一個可信和包容的數字生態系統
在構建數字ASEAN的過程中，我們必須確保小國、小型企業和個人的聲音繼續被聽到。作為政府，我們有責任確保數字化不會造成分化——相反，社會所有成員都能獲得數字化的好處，不存在恐懼或准入障礙。
就在上個月，新加坡議會提出了一項關於為新加坡人建立安全和包容網路空間的動議。在被許多人認為技術水平較低的老年人口中，已有82%的人能夠舒適地使用網際網路搜尋資訊。但我們相信我們可以做得更多來幫助他們，以及任何希望獲得從技術中受益所需技能的人。因此，在辯論期間，我的部門宣佈推出一個框架[2]，該框架規定了新加坡人進行日常線上任務所需的基礎數字技能。
在這方面，我也很高興瞭解到寮國關於評估資訊通訊技術基礎設施與數字技能及外資流入ASEAN資訊通訊技術部門之間關係的專案，以及印度尼西亞關於改進農村地區數字經濟供應鏈物流的專案。
讓我們繼續從多個角度審視數字包容。這個房間裡的多元視角是資產，將擴充套件我們的視野，加深我們對其要求的理解。
最後但同樣重要的是，我們必須認真應對破壞人們對我們數字系統信任的挑戰。具體來說，我們必須做更多工作來打擊利用數字技術進行的詐騙。
根據全球反詐騙聯盟的資料，在2022年8月至2023年8月期間，全世界因詐騙損失了1.4萬億美元。僅在亞洲，超過60%的人每週至少遭遇一次詐騙[3]。詐騙現在是一個跨國問題，犯罪分子和網路犯罪集團使用數字工具大規模、高速地跨越邊界進行犯罪活動。
在這方面，我們歡迎泰國及時提出的關於建立ASEAN反網路詐騙工作組的《行動框架》提案。這將幫助我們共享政策、最佳實踐和戰略情報，以從源頭預防詐騙。
新加坡已與泰國同事進行密切討論，探討東盟地區計算機應急響應團隊（簡稱CERT）如何支援擬議的「反線上詐騙工作組」的工作。我們希望這一機制和其他合作機制能夠共同提升我們保護公民免受詐騙的能力，並增強他們對數字系統的信任。
結語
讓我通過重申東盟和ADGMIN日益增長的重要性來作結。我們的數字經濟正在增長，數字社會將繼續擴大。我們的機構正在使用更多的數字工具向公眾提供服務，並越來越需要維護公眾對數字系統的安全性和韌性的信任。
我們可以在現有基礎和進展的基礎上，打造一個值得信賴且更具包容性的數字未來。我期待有一個充實的討論日程，我們能夠為該地區6.5億人民交付切實成果。
非常感謝各位的出席。我期待稍後與各位交流。

Fellow Digital Ministers
Excellencies
Distinguished guests
Ladies and gentlemen
Introduction
1. Thank you all for making time to be in Singapore for the 4th ASEAN Digital Ministers’ Meeting. We are honoured to be your host.
2. My longer-serving colleagues will know that when Singapore last hosted this meeting 11 years ago, it was called the “Telecommunications and Information Technology Ministers Meeting”, or “TELMIN” for short. The name change to ADGMIN took place just four years ago. It reflected how much our landscape was changing and the unmistakable march of digital technologies. As a bloc, we decided to be responsive and we have made commendable progress.
3. This year, we are pleased to welcome Timor-Leste as an observer for the first time at the ADGSOM, ADGMIN, and other Related Meetings. Let me also extend a warm welcome to all our Dialogue and Development Partners.
Although diverse, ADGMIN has found ways to support member states’ digital developments in practical and meaningful ways.
4. There is no doubt that ADGMIN’s relevance has grown over the years. Digital products and services are now all-pervasive, we encounter them at every turn. More recently, generative AI has captured widespread interest. As much as we welcome the opportunities of each technological advancement, we also recognise the risks they bring.
5. The current wave of digital technologies sweeping across the world has the potential to sow distrust and deepen fault lines in society. Misinformation and disinformation can be supercharged with deepfakes generated by AI. All governments will be challenged to ensure that digital developments are built upon a strong foundation of trust.
6. With around 650 million people, ASEAN is one of the most diverse regions in the world. But that has not stopped us from finding ways to better support each other in our digital journeys.
7. For example, ASEAN is the first and remains the only regional group that has fully adopted the “Norms of Responsible State Behaviour in Cyberspace” put forward by the United Nations. Although the 11 rules are non-binding, the fact that we have worked out implementation guidelines shows our seriousness and commitment.
8. We also introduced practical ways to support cross-border data flows. Building on the ASEAN Data Management Framework, a set of Model Contractual Clauses can be used by our businesses to meet the legal requirements for data protection in all Member States, however different our regimes may be.
9. These efforts recognise that the digital domain is borderless. Many products and services our businesses and citizens access are created and managed elsewhere. Whether it is to enable them to gain more from the opportunities, or to better protect them from the harms they encounter online, our governments and officials must work together, with each other as well as with our partners.10. This is why ASEAN is discussing a Digital Economy Framework Agreement and the theme for this year’s ADGMIN is “Building an Inclusive and Trusted Digital Ecosystem”.
11. I would like to thank all the previous chairs of ADGMIN and TELMIN for contributing to the forward momentum that has been steadily built up. Let me now offer some suggestions on how our foundations of progress can help us break new ground.
Forging a more integrated and connected digital ASEAN
12. First, Singapore believes a more integrated and connected digital ASEAN will benefit all of us. This is especially so if we can identify areas of potential to unlock.
13. Our cooperation on data is a good example.
14. It is significant that at ADGMIN 2024, we are launching the EU-ASEAN Joint Guide on Model Contractual Clauses for International Data Transfers. ASEAN is the EU’s third largest trading partner, while the EU is the second largest investor in ASEAN, having invested US$26.5 billion in our economy in 2021 [1] . I am sure that figure has grown since. Singapore alone has more than 14,000 European businesses that use us as their regional headquarters, logistics and distribution centres for the region.
15. This joint Guide will therefore be useful for businesses that operate in both EU and ASEAN, to manage their cross-border data flows. SMEs and Micro-SMEs in particular, will be far less hampered by the lack of resources to engage in lengthy contractual negotiations on cross-border data flows.
16. Second, we believe ASEAN can also contribute to advancing AI Governance. All of us have an interest to support AI adoption to help grow our industries and enterprises. Equally, we want to protect our societies from the harms of irresponsible or unethical uses of AI.
17. For the first time, Singapore has collaborated with fellow Member States on an ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics. This is an important signal to the global community of AI developers, creators and policy-makers to keep our needs and expectations in mind, as you design products and services or develop rules that our people are bound to be impacted by. At the same time, by putting forward a common set of guidelines, we help you meet our needs in a more inter-operable and unified manner.
18. We thank each Member State for your strong support and contributions to this Guide, and to our other projects under the 4th ADGMIN.
Architecting a trusted and inclusive digital ecosystem, together
19. In architecting a digital ASEAN, we must ensure that the voices of small states, small companies and individuals continue to be heard. As governments, we have the responsibility to ensure that digital does not divide – instead, all members of society can reap the benefits of digitalisation, without fear or barriers to access.
20. Just last month, the Singapore Parliament moved a Motion on building a safe and inclusive online space for Singaporeans. Among our elderly population which many consider to be less tech-savvy, 82% are already comfortable using the Internet to search for information. But we believe we can do much more to help them, as well as anyone who wishes to acquire the skills needed to benefit from technology. This is why, during the debate, my Ministry announced the introduction of a framework [2] , which identifies baseline digital skills for Singaporeans to carry out daily tasks online.
21. In this regard, I am also glad to learn about the project by Laos on Assessing the Relationship between ICT Infrastructure and Digital Skills and the Inflow of Foreign Investment to the ASEAN ICT Sector, as well as Indonesia’s project on improving logistics for the Digital Economy Supply Chain in rural areas.
22. Let us all continue to look at digital inclusion from multiple angles. The diverse perspectives in this room are assets that will expand our horizon and broaden our understanding of what it requires.
23. Last but certainly not least, we must seriously address challenges that undermine the people’s trust in our digital systems. Specifically, we have to do much more to combat scams carried out with the help of digital technologies.
24. According to the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, US$1.4 trillion was lost to scams worldwide between August 2022 to August 2023. In Asia alone, more than 60% of people encounter at least one scam each week [3] . Scams are now a transnational problem, with criminals and cybercrime syndicates using digital tools to operate at scale and at speed, across borders.
25. In this regard, we welcome Thailand’s timely proposal on the Operational Framework to establish the ASEAN Working Group on Anti-Online Scams. It will help us share policies, best practices, and strategic intelligence to prevent scams at source.
26. Singapore is already in close discussions with our Thai colleagues on how the ASEAN Regional Computer Emergency Response Teams, or CERT for short, can support the work of the proposed Working Group on Anti-Online Scams. We hope that this and other mechanisms for cooperation will collectively raise our ability to protect our citizens from scams and strengthen their trust in digital systems.
Conclusion
27. Let me conclude by reaffirming the growing relevance of ASEAN and ADGMIN. Our digital economies are growing and our digital societies will continue to expand. Our agencies are using more digital tools to deliver services to the public, and increasingly need to uphold public trust in the safety and resilience of digital systems.
28. We can build on our foundations and progress to forge a trusted and more inclusive digital future. I look forward to an enriching day of discussions, where we can deliver concrete outcomes for the benefit of the 650 million people in this region.
29. Thank you very much for being here. I look forward to our exchanges later.
