Mohseni Ejei noted the need for constant updating of legal norms amid the rapid development of digital and intellectual technologies. He emphasised that the SCO and BRICS can play an important role in developing joint approaches to these challenges.
Iran expressed readiness to share its own experience in the field of digitalisation of judicial processes and e-justice, as well as interest in studying Indian achievements in the field of regulation of cryptocurrencies and technologies.
