Russia Advocates Intensifying Efforts to Reduce Digital Divide in the World: MFA Spox
As Maria Zakharova noted, many countries are facing problems such as digital inequality, lagging behind in infrastructure development and cybersecurity.
"There is a need to increase cooperation in these areas for the purpose of global development based on the principles of sustainability, and, of course, increasing the efficiency of national economies in the context of growing global digital competitiveness," Zakharova said.
In this regard, Russia advocates for the rejection of:
protectionism,
politically motivated restrictions,
barriers to access to technologies, digital services, products and resources.
Such a position meets the interests of common security and meets the interests of accelerating global economic growth, and also helps to counteract non-market methods of competition that are now being introduced everywhere, Zakharova noted.
