Arzybek Kozhoshev, "Technological sovereignty is becoming an important factor in ensuring sustainable development"
This was said by Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, at the 6th Eurasian Business Forum "Integration", which was held on November 15 in Moscow.
Speaking at the Plenary Session "EAEU Technological Sovereignty and Industrial Cooperation: Implementation Mechanisms", the EEC Minister noted that the agenda "includes a sensitive topic".
"Undoubtedly, in today's world, technological sovereignty is becoming an important factor in ensuring sustainable development. At the same time, energy and transportation are factors that provide not only physical infrastructure for the development of economic sectors, but also promote independence from external risks. Eurasian cohesion is becoming a certain competitive advantage for our countries," Arzybek Kozhoshev said.
According to the EEC Minister, the implementation of a coordinated energy policy by the Eurasian Five countries and their joint actions to shape common energy markets are of particular relevance in the changing international energy landscape.
Arzybek Kozhoshev also emphasized the importance of developing the North-South international transport corridor and increasing cooperation with China, Iran, UAE, India and the Gulf countries on this matter.
"Improvement of transportation infrastructure and logistics allows reducing the cost of energy and equipment delivery, which helps ensure technological sovereignty," believes Arzybek Kozhoshev.
