China eyes enhancing digital partnership

On enterprises' role in advancing AI development, Ding emphasized that enterprises serve not only as adopters of innovative technologies, but also as drivers and transformers.

"Enterprises need to strategically tap into AI's potential, converting technological capabilities into practical productivity through innovative business models, to propel high-end transformation across industries," Ding said.

On digital accessibility, Martin Charles, Dominica's ambassador to China, said, "For Dominica, the BRI opened cooperation for digital trade, offering the starting point for integration into digital trade ecosystems worldwide."

"China's global leadership in technology development and, in particular, AI is making technology more accessible and affordable to the Global South countries," he added.
