Puan, accompanying Vice President Jusuf Kalla, who attended the OIC Conference on Science and Technology Development in Astana, Kazakhstan, said that the research on communication technology development, construction, energy, agriculture and maritime in Indonesia is quite advanced and can contribute within the framework of science and technology of OIC countries.

Vice President Jusuf Kalla wants Islamic countries to better implement science and technology (Iptek) so as not to be left behind with other countries.

"We are in OIC there are too many conventions, discussions, seminars, we want to implement one by one," said the vice president.

He said that in fact the technology in Islamic countries is quite good and advanced as in Kazakhstan, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan.
