Minister Myung-rae Cho emphasized the key role the KIWW plays in water-related knowledge sharing. Faced with challenges like water scarcity, urbanization and flood disaster, countries should actively respond to the United Nations 2030 Agenda and advance sustainable development in a smart way.

Mayor Young-Jin Kwon indicated that the KIWW is an important platform for sharing technologies, concepts, cases and cultures. He also expressed Daegu City’s pleasure to spread the latest achievements and strategies in water industry to the world.

Vice President Su dong Kwak pointed out that with a huge population, Asian countries need to figure out a solution together for climate change both for Asia and for the whole world.

Also there was a keynote speech given by Loic Fauchon, President of World Water Council. He highlighted that technologies should be applied to bring the decision-making process closer to citizens, and be used to better serve mankind and the nature rather than create digital divide.
