Government and Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization Collaborate on Digital Government and Information Communication Fields

10th Online Seminar Held on the 23rd

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 22nd that they will hold an online seminar on the 23rd in cooperation with the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) for the "10th Digital Government and Information and Communication Technology Cooperation."

The Black Sea coastal area is considered a geopolitical key point connecting Europe and Asia as well as a European energy transportation route, and is recognized as a region with abundant economic cooperation potential with South Korea.

Since acquiring sectoral dialogue partner status in 2011, South Korea has been promoting exchange activities annually to expand information sharing and cooperation related to digital government and information and communication technology (ICT). In odd-numbered years, officials from member countries are invited to South Korea for capacity-building training courses, and in even-numbered years, the Korean delegation visits the region to operate cooperation programs.

This seminar will be held under the theme of "Government Services Reflecting the Latest Technologies," with about 100 participants including government officials from BSEC member countries and ICT officers from the BSEC Secretariat. South Korea will share its digital government promotion strategies, digital New Deal policy cases, mobile electronic certificates, government integrated data centers, and COVID-19 response cases utilizing ICT.

At this event, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to present on South Korea's digital government policies and introduce the "mobile electronic certificate" as an example of government service innovation using the latest technologies. Additionally, the National Information Resources Service will present the current status of the government integrated data center operation.

A Ministry of the Interior and Safety official explained, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with the Black Sea Economic Cooperation through close collaboration and widely promote South Korea's digital government policies to strengthen the foundation for related domestic companies to expand overseas."
