According to the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade (MIFT), during the talks, the results of bilateral cooperation were discussed as part of the implementation of the Public Administration Efficiency Improvement Program, implemented jointly with the Government of the UAE since April 2019.

It was noted that over the past 3 years, 142 seminars were held within the framework of the Program and 175 initiatives were put forward for implementation in 25 areas, including such projects as the “Government Accelerator”, “One Million Programmers”, “Young Leaders” and other initiatives that covered various spheres of the socio-economic and social life of the country.

The parties substantively reviewed the implementation of specific projects and initiatives in each area, emphasizing their effectiveness and practical significance. Mutual interest was expressed in continuing and expanding cooperation within the framework of the Program, bearing in mind the coverage of new areas of public administration, the economy and the social sphere.
