“We understand that development is now impossible without digital technologies and the lack of access to modern digital technologies limits the opportunities for the development of the economy and people,” he said.

According to him, in this sense, Russia experienced unique conditions when Western companies suddenly stopped selling relevant technologies. This, he noted, became a big challenge.

“In this sense, our development model follows the path of cooperation with friendly countries. We are currently discussing at the forum... how to close the technology gap on our own. Our task is to have full access to modern technologies,” he clarified.

Shadayev added that Russia is cooperating with countries from different regions, in particular from Asia and Latin America.

Previously, Shadayev stated that Russia was discussing the possible export of State Services to friendly countries.
