Kazakhstan will focus on development of the industrial sectors that are connected to the use of digital technologies, President Nursultan Nazarbayev said in his annual address to the country’s people.

The president ordered the government to work out and adopt a program titled "Digital Kazakhstan".

“The development of the digital industry will give an impetus to all other sectors,” the president said. “Therefore, the government must keep the development of IT under special control.”
