The Union Cabinet on Friday approved four memoranda of understanding (MoUs) on digital technology with Saudi Arabia, the United States, Italy and Tanzania. The MoUs were signed at different points this year. The MoU with Saudi Arabia concerns ‘Digitization and Electronic Manufacturing,’ as well as cooperation on Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies.
The MoU with Tanzania, signed in October, deals with sharing of information related to ‘Digital Solutions implemented at Population Scale for Digital Transformation’, an apparent reference to identity technologies. “Both G2G and B2B bilateral cooperation in the field of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) will be enhanced,” the Union government said in a press release.
