Mrs Josephine Teo Minister for Communications and Information of Singapore Our Ref: delta_regDateTime \* MERGEFORMAT 27.05.2022 No delta_regNumber \* MERGEFORMAT 24.1-8/2022/3744-1 Dear Ms Teo The rules-based world order is undergoing a seismic shift on multiple fronts. New challenges and geostrategic imperatives oblige us to revitalise and reconfigure relationships among like-minded democracies and our closest partners. We need moral clarity and careful stewardship to ensure our future peace and prosperity and ward off a future racked with hardship and oppression. The common thread across our shared efforts is connectivity. The immense global demand for infrastructure will be satisfied, one way or another. We must present a united front against authoritarianism and forge a prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable future together. This will be at the centre of this year’s Tallinn Digital Summit . We will build upon last year’s focus on Trusted Connectivity as a shared framework for democracies to unite various connectivity initiatives and develop digital and physical infrastructure according to our democratic values and highest standards. Now we turn our attention to delivering trusted connectivity through trusted partnerships . We will explore the role connectivity plays in fostering global security, energy security, cybersecurity and data protection, in the development of new technologies and novel digital solutions, as well as in the reconstruction of a free and democratic Ukraine. I invite you to join me in person for these important discussions at Tallinn Digital Summit 2022 on 10 and 11 October. Please find attached to this invitation the concept paper for this year’s Tallinn Digital Summit. Additional information will be shared soon. I look forward to welcoming you in Tallinn!
