I believe that our countries should be working within the WTO to try to set new understandings on the new technologies, whether it's digital technologies to prevent cyber warfare and to protect privacy and to protect shared interests or whether it's agreements on biotechnology.
Because of these advances in technology, we need to understand both countries, both on international standards and on protections as well. Because these technologies are both promising, but they are also dangerous.
