Baku. Ilhama Isabalayeva - APA-Economics. An international consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton is developing a new draft of the proposed high-speed data backbone project that will link he East and West, said Ali Abbasov, the Minister of Communications and Information Technologies.
According to him, the company undertook to prepare a draft within three months and the draft will be presented at a ministerial meeting to be held as part of the Bakutel Exhibition-Conference in Baku on November 11-14.
He expects that ministers and senior officials from more than 20 countries will approve the project at the meeting.
