Azerbaijani IT minister addresses Summer Davos in China

Communications and Information Technology Minister Ali Abbasov has addressed Annual Meeting of the New Champions, the “Summer Davos” in Dalian, China.

The minister highlighted Azerbaijan`s ICT achievements. Abbasov said development of information technologies was one of the key priorities for his country`s government.

On the sidelines of the forum Abbasov had bilateral meetings with his Chinese, Indian and Pakistani counterparts as well as heads of Chinese HUAWEI, the USA`s WYSE Technology and Great Britain`s British Telecom companies. The “Summer Davos”, is the foremost global business gathering in Asia.

Introduced in 2007 in close collaboration with the People`s Republic of China and with the personal support of Premier Wen Jiabao, last year`s Meeting in Tianjin convened 1,300 participants, including over 400 CEOs from Forum Partner and Member companies together with up-and-coming leaders from business, politics, science and technology from 80 countries. In 2011, we expect even stronger participation with over 1,500 participants.
