The world's leading powers are being urged to address
the so-called digital divide on the second day of the G8 summit in Japan.
Summit host, Japanese Prime Minister, Yoshiro Mori, wants to highlight
the gulf that separates rich and poor countries in their access to information
technology.
It is just one of a wide range of international, economic and political
issues being discussed by the leading eight industrial nations - the US,
Japan, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Canada and Russia.
They also want to launch initiatives to tackle infectious
diseases which are estimated to kill 13 million people each year in poorer
countries.

在日本举行的八国首脑会议进入第二天后,这些世界大国就被催促解决所谓的数字化差距问题。
本次峰会的东道主,日本首相森喜朗欲强调富国与穷国之间在IT行业的差距问题。
这只是八个主要工业国家--美国、日本、德国、法国、英国、意大利、加拿大和俄罗斯--将要探讨的涉及国际、经济和政治等广泛领域的议题中的一个。
他们还想开始解决据估计每年在贫穷国家使1300万人丧生的传染性疾病问题。
