(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 4. Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO) countries need to develop trade on
electronic platforms, senior analyst of the Department of Asian
Studies of the Institute for Strategic Studies under the President
of Kazakhstan Bauyrzhan Auken told Trend .
He made the remark on the sidelines of the meeting of the SCO
Council of Heads of State (SCO Summit).
"Kazakhstan's presidency has been focused on developing the
economic interconnectedness of SCO members, as well as on
developing the transport and logistics sectors. Kazakhstan and
Azerbaijan see special relevance in stimulating and transforming
Central Asia and the Caucasus into a trade and logistics hub for
Eurasia.
This is because the transport connectivity of Kazakhstan and
Azerbaijan gives our countries an additional impetus for the
development of not only economic but also cultural and humanitarian
ties against the backdrop of current geopolitical turbulence and
economic instability," he pointed out.
Auken expressed confidence that today the heads of state will
give it their all to go the extra mile in developing
connectivity.
"Economic relations should be strengthened through joint
projects and joint efforts by both sides, particularly business
representatives. This also applies to cooperation in higher
education and in the political sphere, as all vectors of
cooperation are interconnected, and the development of one area
directly influences the increase in trade turnover.
Besides, trade on electronic platforms should be developed, as
today, in the age of digitalization, it is of particular
importance, and it will be very convenient for our citizens to
export, or rather sell, their goods through online trading
platforms. In this regard, new logistics centers should be opened,
and cooperation in digital trade should be established," the
analyst added.
To note, the SCO Summit is being held in Astana, under the
presidency of Kazakhstan.
