MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th March, 2023) Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Thursday that he had signed a decree on the priority of home-grown electronics and components in public procurement as part of measures to ensure the country's technological sovereignty.
"The government has been continuing the work on ensuring technological sovereignty.
I have signed the decree, which provides an advantage to domestic electronics with Russian processors in procurement for state and municipal needs," Mishustin said during a cabinet meeting.
