"In April, our senators visited Minsk, where they held the first meeting of the Subcommission and were impressed by the achievements demonstrated at the Information Technology Park. It is necessary to enhance cooperation in this field at the EXPO platform in Nur-Sultan," said the Senate Speaker.
Speaker Nazarbayeva also proposed to intensify work in the furtherance of the Joint Action Plan aimed at boosting turnover and technology transfer.
The importance of the EAEU Anniversary Summit to be held May 29 in Nur-Sultan was emphasized during the meeting. The summit will be an important landmark in the development of Eurasian integration and the expansion of economic cooperation between countries. "In a short span of time, a lot has been done, the trajectory has been set, and most importantly there is a political will to develop and strengthen cooperation. Economic interests should be the main engine of integration processes," said the Senate Speaker. She pointed to the promising areas of economic cooperation, including the transport and logistics sector.
