It also includes cooperation on advanced telecommunications, including 5G and 6G, support for start-ups, innovation ecosystems, and digital transformation in critical sectors like smart cities, healthcare, and education.

The agreement outlines specific mechanisms for cooperation, including joint research projects, academic exchange programmes, expert missions, seminars, policy dialogue, and training initiatives. It further encourages the promotion of public-private partnerships and technology transfer to support inclusive digital development, the source claims.
