Pellegrini in Israel Signs Declaration to Cooperate in Digital Technologies

Jerusalem, February 1 (TASR correspondent) – Slovak Vice-premier for Investments and Informatisation Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD) and Israeli Social Equality Minister Gila Gamliel signed a joint declaration to cooperate in the field of digitisation for the public sector in Jerusalem on Wednesday.

“With madam minister, we signed a declaration to cooperate in the sphere of modern and digital technologies. I’m very glad that this memorandum will allow us to boost the bilateral exchange of experience and know-how, but it will also help in the exchange of, for example, students and professionals in the field of modern technologies and cyber security,” said Pellegrini, adding that cyber security is a big issue nowadays.
