Mr. Zhang Liman, CEO of Huawei Myanmar shared his idea that government should play as practitioners, motivators, and regulators with respect to achieve digital nation. He said, “By embracing digital development, governments can improve governance, create an environment conducive to development, and regulate flexibly and effectively, we suggest that governments prioritize promotion of how to realize digitalization before launching a package of digital initiatives. The government's mindset for enhancing its capabilities through digital technology will determine its responsibility as a practitioner of digitalization. How governments pursue the building of a favorable environment for digital development will determine its status as a motivator for the digital ecosystem. And the responsibilities governments assume in guiding and supervising digital development will determine their roles as a regulator for digital development.”
