Uzbekistan has put forward the idea of establishing a common computing infrastructure for all Central Asian countries, which would be based on an interconnected network of national data centers. This initiative is aimed at promoting the joint use of computing resources and stimulating the development of domestic digital projects, especially in the field of artificial intelligence.

In addition to technical aspects, the president focused on training qualified personnel. He suggested launching joint educational programs, supporting scientific research, and expanding opportunities for technological entrepreneurship. It should be noted that at the same meeting, Mirziyoyev also proposed that the countries of Central Asia and Azerbaijan develop common industrial and technological chains, as well as form new tools for implementing joint initiatives.
