JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid expressed her support for the Digital Declaration of Bangkok which was adopted at the 5th ASEAN Digital Ministers Meeting (ADGMIN) in Bangkok, Thailand.

According to him, this declaration reflects the collective commitment of ASEAN countries to build secure, innovative, and inclusive digital areas.

"Indonesia fully supports the steps in Bangkok's Digital Declaration that are in line with our vision to strengthen digital inclusion and encourage technological innovation," Meutya said in her official broadcast.

Meutya reiterated that digital transformation must be felt by all levels of society, including those in remote areas.

As part of its contribution, Indonesia introduced Indonesia Digital Vision (IDV), an initiative to expand connectivity, increase digital literacy, and develop technology talent.

This initiative supports the vision of the ASEAN Digital Master Plan 2025 and strengthens ASEAN's role as a global digital economy center projected to be worth trillions of dollars by 2030.

In addition, Meutya also held a bilateral meeting with Singapore's Minister of Digital and Information Development, Josephine Teo, to discuss child protection policies in the digital world.

Bangkok's Digital Declaration is not only a strategic foundation for ASEAN's digital future, but also strengthens cooperation between countries in the region.

As one of the largest digital economies in ASEAN, Indonesia continues to play an active role in encouraging inclusive and sustainable digital transformation.
