Employees of the Ministry of Economy and Industry, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Internal Affairs and JSC Uzavtosanoat have become the users of government mobile communications, the company UMS reports.

“From April 1, employees of the ministries of economy and industry, culture, internal affairs, as well as the domestic auto industry became users of government mobile communications,” the mobile operator said in a press release.

Last year, NAPM carried out the initial launch, testing and trial operation of this system. In particular, at the end of 2018, the company UMS in a test mode connected employees of the National Bank for Foreign Economic Activity of Uzbekistan to the government mobile communications.
