[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 26th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on digital government cooperation between the two countries, coinciding with the visit of Colombian President Iv?n Duque M?rquez to Korea, and decided to strengthen cooperation.

Under this agreement, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and Colombia will promote the sharing of best practices and experiences in digital government, personnel exchanges and joint research, and the establishment of a cooperation committee.

Minister Jeon Hae-cheol said, “I hope that Korea’s experience and best practices in digital government will help Colombia’s digital transformation,” and added, “We will strengthen cooperation with the Colombian government through this MOU signing and actively support Korean companies to participate in Colombia’s digital government projects based on trust between governments.”
