Global Leaders Unite to Boost Kids’ Learning and Tech

Melania Trump opened a two‑day summit on Tuesday, inviting leaders from more than 40 countries to talk about better ways for children to learn and use technology. She used the event as a launchpad for her “Fostering the Future Together” program, which she first announced last year at the U. N. General Assembly. During her speech she urged the world’s heads of state to set up regional meetings, launch research projects, and form new partnerships that give youngsters the skills needed in a fast‑changing world. She also called for stronger public‑private collaborations to support education policies and tech initiatives.The meeting took place in a State Department auditorium, where leaders sat around a U‑shaped table. Melania highlighted the talent present in the room, urging participants to use it to raise their children’s prospects and boost their economies. She specifically mentioned that technology giants such as Microsoft, Google and OpenAI were also in attendance. Among the distinguished guests were Olena Zelenska, wife of Ukraine’s president, and Sara Netanyahu, spouse of Israel’s prime minister. The summit aimed to create a global alliance that would accelerate progress for children worldwide.
