Personnel Administration "K-Personnel Administration to the World... Establishment of International Cooperation Council in the First Half of the Year"

Establishment and Expansion of Domestic and International Partnerships

An international cooperation council will be established in the first half of this year to respond to the demand from countries seeking to share Korea's (K) experience in personnel administration.

The Ministry of Personnel Management announced the "2024 International Cooperation Promotion Direction" on the 10th to lead the agenda in the global personnel administration field and expand the cooperation network, marking its 10th anniversary this year.

First, domestic and international cooperative relationships will be newly established and expanded in the first half of this year to share Korea's personnel administration experience and contribute to the government's development strategy formulation.

Among personnel administration-related organizations, those wishing to participate will jointly promote cooperative projects through regular and irregular meetings held twice a year.

The council plans to promote ▲ the formation of a joint delegation for personnel administration ▲ joint promotion of bilateral cooperation projects with foreign personnel management institutions ▲ signing joint memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with foreign public institutions, academic societies, and others.

The countries and international organizations cooperating by region will also be expanded. This year, memorandums of understanding are planned to be signed with six countries including Canada (British Columbia), Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Tanzania, and Indonesia, and a specific list of cooperative projects will be established to ensure that relationships with countries and international organizations that have cooperated so far do not remain one-off.

In particular, through the Asia cooperation network established last year for the first time in the personnel administration field with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), it plans to lead the agenda by proposing solutions to problems faced by public sectors in each country such as ▲ low birthrate ▲ attracting talented personnel ▲ digitalization of personnel administration.

Additionally, the Ministry of Personnel Management plans to launch a high-level cooperation network with ambassadors from Central Asian countries this year, based on the cooperation network established last year with diplomatic missions from 10 Asian countries in Korea, to further expand the cooperation network with regional diplomatic envoys in Korea.

Kim Seung-ho, Minister of Personnel Management, said, "This year is an important time for the government to establish clear leadership in the field of personnel administration," adding, "As Korea's personnel administration is highly evaluated in the international community, we will continue to lead related agendas and actively promote development cooperation projects."
