"It is impossible to develop the economy of a country like ours, which has limited resources if we do not focus on intensity," he emphasized.

"If we talk about economic diversification, it is impossible to imagine it without high-quality goods and services. And to receive high-quality products and services, modern technologies and equipment are needed," he emphasized.
