It is important for Russia and Kazakhstan to jointly create IT products that are focused on the needs of people. The exchange of experience between Russia and Kazakhstan will create new standards for the convenience, security and accessibility of digital services. "It is important for us not only to adopt best practices, but also to jointly create IT products focused on the real needs of people. After all, the ultimate goal of digitalization is not the technologies themselves, but to improve the quality of life of citizens through economic development and the introduction of truly convenient digital solutions," said Dmitry Grigorenko, Chief of Staff of the Government of the Russian Federation.
The two countries are making significant progress in the development of digital government and financial services. In particular, in 2024, the share of cashless payments in Kazakhstan exceeded 80% of the total volume of transactions. A digital citizen passport system has also been successfully implemented, allowing you to safely and conveniently receive state, banking and commercial services online with a unified identification system.
Attention was paid to the issues of biometric identification. The development of these technologies is an important area of work in both countries. “Dmitry Grigorenko's talks in Astana confirmed the mutual interest of Russia and Kazakhstan in the development of a digital partnership, and the parties agreed to continue the dialogue in key areas, including the implementation of joint projects in the field of information technologies, e-government services and digital infrastructure“, Grigorenko's office concluded.
