Openness creates opportunities for knowledge sharing across borders
Openness plays an important role in helping countries, especially in the Global South, to access knowledge, experience and technology, said Ignacio Araya, director of Citydiplomacy.org, at the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit.
Araya highlighted the value of collaboration, mutual understanding, and connections among people from different backgrounds. He described the summit as a platform that enables participants to build ties with China as well as other countries.
Reflecting on this year's theme of openness, he said that inviting and acknowledging participants from different countries demonstrates a willingness of the summit to share knowledge and opportunities.
The World Internet Conference (WIC) was established as an international organization on July 12, 2022, headquartered in Beijing, China. It was jointly initiated by Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA), National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT), China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), Alibaba Group, Tencent, and Zhijiang Lab.
