We hope that a model of open cooperation will be built based on mutual respect and mutual benefit. It is particularly important to deepen practical interaction in areas such as digital infrastructure, data collection and processing, including new industries, digital skills training, since the high rate of digital development affects not only standard work processes, but also to the needs of key sectors of the economy in personnel and competences.
