Addressing the opening session of the “Fostering the Future Together” summit held at the U.S. State Department, she stated, “As individuals, we dream. As leaders, we move forward. As a nation, we build. Starting today, let us accelerate our new global alliance to positively impact the development of our children.”
The two-day summit has gathered International leaders and major tech companies to collaborate on enhancing educational resources for children in the digital environment and strengthening their safety.

She remarked, “Our shared vision places children above politics, geographical boundaries, and local biases,” urging all member countries to organize regional meetings, conduct research studies, foster new partnerships, and collaborate with other nations.
The summit focuses on four key areas: EdTech tools, artificial intelligence in education, online safety, and digital literacy.
Melania also highlighted the participation of major American tech companies, noting that the industry’s role is crucial in shaping this initiative. She remarked, “Never before have so many tech visionaries stood before such a large global audience of State Department and White House leaders in just two days.”
