KATHMANDU, Sept 9: Ambassador of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Dr Ashraf Shikhaliyev has said that Nepal also can develop through digitization and digital governance as the Republic of Azerbaijan did.

He shared his experience while delivering his remarks in the 3rd Session “Digital Infrastructure and Technology Emigration: Leapfrogging Opportunities” of Nepal Infrastructure Summit 2022 organized by the Confederation of Nepalese Industries on Thursday.

“Digitalization and digital governance has eased the livelihood of the public as well as changed the overall economy and due to digitalization Azerbaijan has become one of the most attractive destinations for all where visas can be obtained within an hour of online application which would be for 30 days,” Dr Shikhaliyev shared, adding: “Driving licenses can also be replaced within five minutes of time and firm registration is completed within two days and all these processes are done very transparently without any corruption.”
