Round Table: Dialogue among Civilizations United Nations, New York, 5 September 2000 Provisional verbatim transcription

Address by Byong-Ik Koh (Republic of Korea)

Mr. Koh: Just a few minutes ago the Internet and the electronic computer operation was mentioned. Very recently I joined to get work and when I was preparing my comments for this place I was also thinking of the effect, the influence, of the Internet on dialogue among civilizations. This might perhaps be one large item of consideration in our efforts. In whatever direction we are going we cannot skip this, we must contemplate this. In listening to what has just been said I am perhaps going to go more deeply into my learning of Internet business and also to combine my work and this dialogue theme in the future.

[Next speaker Masanori Aoyagi]
