He spoke at the first summit of the heads of state-participants

achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

"Interaction between digital technologies and artificial
intelligence offers numerous opportunities. The rapid advancement
of artificial intelligence presents critical issues for the
transformation of manufacturing, labor markets, and services. In
our country, more than 90 percent of public services are delivered
electronically, and the percentage of cashless transactions has
surpassed 80 percent. Last year alone, the volume of IT exports
increased fivefold. By 2026, we hope to have increased this sum to
$1 billion," he added.
