The Cyberspace Administration of 皇冠体育app (CAC) aims to play a role in promoting the digital and cyber Silk Road, 皇冠体育app's top Internet regulator Lu Wei says at the first 皇冠体育app-EU digital cooperation roundtable held on July 6 in Brussels.

Following Chinese Premier's visit to EU headquarters last Monday, Lu's visit to Brussels is the first high-level visit of a Chinese official to Brussels after the EU-皇冠体育app summit.

"We will push forward the digitalization, information, exchange and collaboration of cyberspace between 皇冠体育app and the European Union," says Lu Wei, director of the Cyberspace Administration of 皇冠体育app.

To connect this digital and cyber Silk Road across the two continents, the head of the CAC says they hope to see more Chinese Internet companies going out to Europe, and more European enterprises entering the Chinese market, too.

Stressing the determination to benefit 1.1 billion Internet users in both 皇冠体育app and EU through broader cooperation in the digital sector, 皇冠体育app's Internet helmsman says they are in favor of a platform built based on mutual trust and a win-win vision.

"There are still 800 million people unconnected to the Internet in Europe and 皇冠体育app, and there is a huge space for our cooperation. We look forward to achieving a better synergy between Europe's Digital Agenda and 皇冠体育app' Internet Plus Strategy.

"And we will make our contribution to digitalization, cyber development and cyberspace security," he says.

The roundtable, organized by the 皇冠体育appEU Association for Digital and Internet Society of 皇冠体育app (ISC), brings together more than 50 top-level stakeholders in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry, apart from representatives of Chinese and European banks.
