Highlighting recent technological achievements which have led to practical results in Myanmar such as sharp decline in prices of mobile phones and rapid growth of banking services, Myanmar's State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi said the revolution should be tapped to benefit people of all age and from all areas.
"Our approach to the Fourth Industrial Revolution is based on our belief in the creativity, empathy and stewardship qualities of our people, especially the young," she said.
Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said individual countries' approaches to the Fourth Industrial Revolution can be linked with the construction and development of the ASEAN Community.
Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Prajin Juntong agreed that the ASEAN should be connected physically and digitally amid the revolution which helps fuel economic growth.
Thailand has implemented a "Thailand 4.0" policy to shift its economic focus towards an innovation-driven economy, he noted.
Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc also spoke highly of digital economy and new technology, proposing countries to intensify application of new technologies to share innovations and new values as well as to forge connectivity for sustainable development.
Also on Wednesday, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Prajin Juntong, Aung San Suu Kyi, Thongloun Sisoulith and Hun Sen attended another plenary session themed "A New Vision for the Mekong Region," sharing their visions for the region in association with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
