Speaking at the meeting, the minister emphasized that digital transformation and the construction of smart cities and villages in the country's liberated territories is also one of the priorities for Azerbaijan.

In this regard, he invited companies from OTS countries to participate in smart city projects in Azerbaijan, especially in the Karabakh and East Zangazur economic regions.

The minister stressed that the expansion of digital transformation, along with the transition to the 4th industrial revolution, creates new areas and targets for cyber threats. In this context, Nabiyev proposed to start work in the field of cybersecurity, as well as recognition of electronic signatures in both multilateral and bilateral formats.

He also noted the importance of creating a unified system of registration of mobile devices between the countries of the OTS.

Additionally, Nabiyev stated that Azerbaijan attaches great importance to cooperation within the organization, in particular in the field of ICT. Rashad Nabiyev and OTS Secretary-General Baghdad Amreyev made welcoming speeches at the event.
