MOSCOW, 27 March (BelTA - TV BRICS) -
Russian President Vladimir Putin has emphasised the need to develop
technological cooperation with BRICS countries. He made this
announcement at the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and
Entrepreneurs (RSPP), according to the official website of the Kremlin.
The congress also hosted the first meeting of the National Committee for Business Cooperation within BRICS, which was established by presidential decree in February this year. The head of state called on representatives of domestic business to actively participate in the work of the new body to prepare concrete proposals for the development of economic ties within BRICS, as well as in science, innovation, industry and other sectors.
"We will continue to encourage business investment in the modernisation of enterprises and production facilities based on our own technological capabilities. We will particularly support the implementation of solutions in three key cross-cutting technologies: artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and digital platforms. There is scope for cooperation with foreign countries in this work, including those from the world’s fastest-growing regions, the Asia-Pacific region and southern Eurasia. We plan to develop such cooperation primarily through BRICS", Vladimir Putin said.
At the meeting of the national committee, participants approved the composition and working procedures of the new body. In accordance with the President’s decree, Maksim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation, was appointed as Chairman of the National Committee; he also serves as Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Trade and Economic Cooperation with BRICS States and Interaction with the New Development Bank.
