As part of ongoing large-scale connectivity efforts in rural settlements, high-quality communication services are planned to be provided to more than 3,000 villages with a total population exceeding 1 million residents by late 2027.
The meeting also focused on the implementation of the international project Trans Caspian fiber-optic communication line, which provides the construction of a submarine fiber-optic communication line along the Aktau-Sumgait route.

The initiative is intended to attract international technology companies and enhance the country’s investment appeal.
As Mussin said, among the priorities is the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies. Projects are underway to create AI agents for automating corporate processes, as well as solutions in the fields of cybersecurity and the digitalization of the public sector.
