各位数字部长
各位阁下
尊敬的来宾
女士们、先生们
介绍
1. 感谢各位抽出时间来新加坡参加第四届东盟数字部长会议。我们荣幸成为东道主。
2. 我的资深同事们会知道，新加坡上次主办这次会议是在11年前，当时它被称为「远程通信和信息技术部长会议」，或简称「TELMIN」。改名为ADGMIN是在四年前进行的。这反映了我们的环境发生了多大的变化，以及数字技术的不可阻挡的进展。作为一个联盟，我们决定积极应对，我们已经取得了值得称赞的进展。
3. 今年，我们很荣幸首次欢迎东帝汶作为观察员参加ADGSOM、ADGMIN以及其他相关会议。我也诚挚欢迎所有对话和发展伙伴。
虽然存在差异，亚盟数字部长会议已找到了以实际和有意义的方式来支持成员国的数字发展。
4. 毫无疑问，亚盟数字部长会议的相关性多年来不断增长。数字产品和服务现已无处不在，我们随时随处都会接触到。最近，生成式人工智能引起了广泛关注。虽然我们欢迎每一项技术进步带来的机会，但我们也认识到它们带来的风险。
5. 席卷全球的当前数字技术浪潮有可能在社会中播下不信任的种子，加深社会分裂。虚假信息和错误信息可能被人工智能生成的深度伪造放大。所有政府都将面临挑战，以确保数字发展建立在强有力的信任基础之上。
6. 东盟拥有约6.5亿人口，是世界上最多元化的地区之一。但这并未阻止我们找到相互支持、推进各自数字发展的方式。
7. 例如，东盟是第一个也是唯一一个完全采纳了联合国提出的「网络空间中负责任国家行为规范」的地区组织。虽然这11条规则不具有约束力，但我们制定了实施指南这一事实表明了我们的认真态度和承诺。
8. 我们还推出了支持跨境数据流动的实际措施。以「东盟数据管理框架」为基础，我们的企业可以使用一套示范合同条款来满足所有成员国的数据保护法律要求，无论各国的制度差异如何。
9. 这些努力认识到数字领域是无边界的。我们的企业和公民访问的许多产品和服务都在其他地方创建和管理。无论是为了使他们能从机会中获益，还是为了保护他们免受在线伤害，我们的政府和官员必须相互合作，既要彼此配合，也要与伙伴合作。10. 这就是为什么东盟正在讨论「数字经济框架协议」，今年亚盟数字部长会议的主题是「建设一个包容和值得信赖的数字生态系统」。
11. 我感谢亚盟数字部长会议和TELMIN的所有前任主席为不断积累的前进势头做出的贡献。现在让我提出一些建议，说明我们的进步基础如何能帮助我们开创新局面。
打造一个更加一体化和互联的数字东盟
首先，新加坡相信更加一体化、互联互通的数字ASEAN将惠及我们所有人。如果我们能够识别并释放潜在的机遇，这一点尤为重要。
我们在数据方面的合作就是一个很好的例子。
值得注意的是，在2024年ADGMIN会议上，我们正在推出《EU-ASEAN国际数据传输示范合同条款联合指南》。ASEAN是欧盟第三大贸易伙伴，而欧盟是ASEAN第二大投资者，在2021年向我们的经济投资了265亿美元[1]。我确信这一数字已经增长。仅新加坡就有超过14,000家欧洲企业将我们用作其地区总部、物流和配送中心。
因此，这份联合指南对于在欧盟和ASEAN两地运营的企业将很有用，可以帮助他们管理跨境数据流。特别是中小企业和微型企业，在进行跨境数据流的冗长合同谈判时，将大大减少因资源不足而面临的障碍。
其次，我们相信ASEAN也可以为推进人工智能治理做出贡献。我们所有人都有支持人工智能采用的利益，以帮助我们的产业和企业增长。同样，我们希望保护我们的社会免受不负责任或不道德使用人工智能带来的伤害。
新加坡首次与其他成员国合作制定了《ASEAN人工智能治理和伦理指南》。这是对全球人工智能开发者、创意工作者和政策制定者的重要信号，要求他们在设计产品和服务或制定将对我们人民产生影响的规则时，牢记我们的需求和期望。同时，通过提出一套共同的指导方针，我们帮助你们以更具互操作性和统一的方式满足我们的需求。
我们感谢每个成员国对该指南以及第四届ADGMIN其他项目的大力支持和贡献。
共同构建一个可信和包容的数字生态系统
在构建数字ASEAN的过程中，我们必须确保小国、小型企业和个人的声音继续被听到。作为政府，我们有责任确保数字化不会造成分化——相反，社会所有成员都能获得数字化的好处，不存在恐惧或准入障碍。
就在上个月，新加坡议会提出了一项关于为新加坡人建立安全和包容网络空间的动议。在被许多人认为技术水平较低的老年人口中，已有82%的人能够舒适地使用互联网搜索信息。但我们相信我们可以做得更多来帮助他们，以及任何希望获得从技术中受益所需技能的人。因此，在辩论期间，我的部门宣布推出一个框架[2]，该框架规定了新加坡人进行日常在线任务所需的基础数字技能。
在这方面，我也很高兴了解到老挝关于评估信息通信技术基础设施与数字技能及外资流入ASEAN信息通信技术部门之间关系的项目，以及印度尼西亚关于改进农村地区数字经济供应链物流的项目。
让我们继续从多个角度审视数字包容。这个房间里的多元视角是资产，将扩展我们的视野，加深我们对其要求的理解。
最后但同样重要的是，我们必须认真应对破坏人们对我们数字系统信任的挑战。具体来说，我们必须做更多工作来打击利用数字技术进行的诈骗。
根据全球反诈骗联盟的数据，在2022年8月至2023年8月期间，全世界因诈骗损失了1.4万亿美元。仅在亚洲，超过60%的人每周至少遭遇一次诈骗[3]。诈骗现在是一个跨国问题，犯罪分子和网络犯罪集团使用数字工具大规模、高速地跨越边界进行犯罪活动。
在这方面，我们欢迎泰国及时提出的关于建立ASEAN反网络诈骗工作组的《行动框架》提案。这将帮助我们共享政策、最佳实践和战略情报，以从源头预防诈骗。
新加坡已与泰国同事进行密切讨论，探讨东盟地区计算机应急响应团队（简称CERT）如何支持拟议的「反在线诈骗工作组」的工作。我们希望这一机制和其他合作机制能够共同提升我们保护公民免受诈骗的能力，并增强他们对数字系统的信任。
结语
让我通过重申东盟和ADGMIN日益增长的重要性来作结。我们的数字经济正在增长，数字社会将继续扩大。我们的机构正在使用更多的数字工具向公众提供服务，并越来越需要维护公众对数字系统的安全性和韧性的信任。
我们可以在现有基础和进展的基础上，打造一个值得信赖且更具包容性的数字未来。我期待有一个充实的讨论日程，我们能够为该地区6.5亿人民交付切实成果。
非常感谢各位的出席。我期待稍后与各位交流。

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.
