Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 8 November, the Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications Development held a meeting with Oracle Vice President Giovanna Sangiorgi. First Deputy Minister Olimjon Umarov attended the meeting.

The first deputy minister expressed interest in expanding the presence of Oracle in Uzbekistan, in enhancing the company’s participation in the introduction of modern information technologies in the country.

To date, in accordance with the state program for the implementation of the “Electronic Government” system, state bodies of the Republic of Uzbekistan have implemented a number of projects for the implementation of information systems and databases.
