03:59So, Minister, why all this growth then in tech and ICT?
04:03It's because we had the bold vision of our president to make Uzbekistan an IT hub, which is creating the job opportunities, highly paid job opportunities for our use.
04:12And Uzbekistan had a young and growing population and we need to create the jobs within Uzbekistan.
