Summit of the Future Interactive Dialogue on Strengthening Inclusive Innovation and Bridging Digital Divides

Mohamed Muizzu, President of the Republic of Maldives and Co-chair of Interactive Dialogue 3, addresses the Summit of the Future Interactive Dialogue 3 titled: "Towards a Common Digital Future: Strengthening Inclusive Innovation and Cooperation to Bridge the Digital Divides." This dialogue investigates three questions: How can digital technologies be leveraged to foster sustainable development? In what ways can multistakeholder collaboration and partnerships foster capacity-building and bolster technological and scientific cooperation? And how can we ensure that the development and use of digital technologies foster inclusive, open, safe, and secure digital spaces?

The Summit of the Future offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity for change and a chance to commit to bold new solutions. It provides an opportunity to create international mechanisms that better reflect the realities of the 21st century and can respond to today's and tomorrow's challenges and opportunities. As a global community, we have a role in setting a better course for our world. By working together, we can achieve a safer, more peaceful, just, equal, inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future.
