For comparison, the next closest ranking among CIS and Central Asian countries is Armenia, which placed 53rd, followed by Russia, Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Turkmenistan. South Korea tops the list with the highest scores. Notably, Kazakhstan has also ranked 24th in the UN Global E-Government Development Index (EDGI).
