In addition, we are working on creation of CryptoCity, an experimental innovative zone, called to become a center of attraction for global experts in the field of cryptocurrencies. In this pilot project, we intend to test legal and technological solutions related to the widespread use of digital assets. In general, Kazakhstan is open to cooperation and offers EAEU countries to jointly participate in the launch of innovative clusters, technoparks and startup incubators, where scientific developments and technologies can turn into successful commercial solutions," added Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

The most important thing is that we need to act in a coordinated, pragmatic and proactive manner. I am confident that systematic and decisive policy of the states and unification of their efforts in the Eurasian space will make artificial intelligence a source of sustainable growth and global competitiveness of our economies. We are fully committed to further strengthening and development of economic integration, and we are ready for systematic joint work to build an effective, open and dynamic Eurasian Economic Union," the Head of State concluded.
