Technological competition should be one of the principal agenda items for discussion at the highest levels, on par with discourses on security and general economic matters, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.
He said with the current race centred around cutting-edge technology as demonstrated in the competition in the semiconductor industry, the rivalry to be ahead in this could take either a productive or destructive turn.
“Having said that, let me reiterate that unfettered competition must give way to spirited collaboration,” he said during a plenary session at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2023 (BFA 2023) in Hainan, China, today.
