Nov 19, 2014 - Xi sends congratulatory letter to the first World Internet Conference in Wuzhen

Although he was on an overseas trip, Xi still took time to send a congratulatory message to the first World Internet Conference in Wuzhen.

China is ready to work with other countries to deepen international cooperation, respect sovereignty on the Internet and uphold cyber security, said Xi in the message.

The conference covered topics including global Internet governance, mobile Internet, cross-border e-commerce, cyber security and terrorism.

It was the first time the Chinese government had held an international event discussing cyber issues. More than 1,000 delegates from nearly 100 countries and regions attended.
