Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi attends a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum on Asean at the National Convention Centre in Hanoi on Wednesday. She added that not just "leap-frogging" but "quantum leaps are absolutely necessary for countries like us which have been left behind by events over the past few decades." "This has been so quick and so widespread that we think that we have not been behind in the Fourth Industrial Revolution." For this success, Suu Kyi credited the government's policy of opening the market to healthy competition. "We believe that all our people will have a part to play in making the Fourth Industrial Revolution a boon for humanity, rather than a curse," she said.
