The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 27th that it held a comprehensive discussion meeting for the 'Digital National Agenda Continuous On-site Dialogue' at Jiranjigyo Security, a cybersecurity company located in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Since June last year, the Ministry of Science and ICT has been holding on-site dialogue meetings to build policy consensus through discussions with field experts and to successfully promote digital national agendas by combining the capabilities of the public and private sectors. Through a total of 20 continuous on-site dialogue meetings, the ministry collected opinions from the private sector on major digital issues and reflected them in key policies such as Korea's digital strategy, nurturing one million digital talents, and strengthening competitiveness in super-large AI.
