Referring to the importance of location information, he said: In today’s world, data governing, especially spatial data, is one of the most important aspects of sustainable development and the realization of sustainable development is possible when planning is based on scientific, transparent, accurate and reliable data.

Sidaii added: “The science sciences, which combine mapping, geology and other related sciences, extract the spatial data and convert to maps, systems and information that is managed by countries and the world in order to implement planning and futuristic planning.”

He continued: Today’s meeting is one of the essential issues, namely the governance of spatial data in the Brix Group. Brix is ​​a collection that covers half of the world’s population and there are strong countries in the field of GDP. The collection operates in a union that focuses on free trade, free economy and the monopoly of large powers such as the US and some European countries.

The head of the country’s mapping organization said: Iran’s presence as hosting the summit was an opportunity for Brix member states, including Russia, India, China, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa and other countries to share their one -year experiences and activities related to information technologies. The two -day summit, which was held today on the first day, presented an instance of integrating satellite data, drones, aerial imaging and spatial GPS information that are used in various areas including transportation, urban management, sustainable development and crisis management.

Sidaii pointed to the activities carried out in Iran and said: “Our country has been able to create a location system at the national level by using GIS systems and geographical databases and cover all important devices in the country.” The system has made it possible to integrate economic and social data with space dimensions, and more than 5,000 layers of map and spatial information have been shared between different devices and provinces.

He added: “These valuable experiences were presented in the form of a specialized report at the summit and emphasized the importance of sharing data and cooperation between member states.”

“Such meetings are a good platform for exchange of knowledge and experience and strengthening multilateral scientific and technological cooperation,” Sidai said.

Responding to a question from Mehr reporter about the output of the meeting and the model of cooperation between the member states, he said: “These meetings act as one of the key organizations in data exchange, presenting new innovations and experiences between countries.” These partnerships lead to better synergy, unity and development among Brix members, and documenting the findings and experiences is provided to countries.

Sidayei emphasized: Working groups in each country work on various topics throughout the year and will present their progress and achievements in subsequent meetings. The Islamic Republic of Iran is seriously working to engage and cooperate with powerful Brix member states such as Russia, China and India, especially in the field of data governance to enhance the development of spatial technologies.
