Memorandum of Cooperation in the Field of Digital Governance was Signed between the Ministry of Justice of Georgia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security of the Republic of Korea.
Within the framework of his visit to the Republic of Korea, the Minister of Justice of Georgia, Paata Salia, met with the Minister of Internal Affairs and Security, Yun Ho-jun. During the conversation, the parties discussed close cooperation in digital development.
The Minister of Justice of Georgia noted at the meeting that the partnership between Georgia and the Republic of Korea is important, in particular, in the areas of artificial intelligence, innovative technologies, electronic services and the development of digital governance.
“The concept of democratic governance based on artificial intelligence is particularly interesting for us. The main idea of this approach is that artificial intelligence should not be just a technological tool, but should serve to increase access to services and a faster response by the state to citizens’ demands,” the Minister of Justice of Georgia said.
Paata Salia highlighted Georgia’s significant progress in recent years in the areas of digital governance, e-services, cybersecurity, and information security.
According to the Minister of Internal Affairs and Security of the Republic of Korea, Yun Ho-jun, cooperation between the two countries will bring significant benefits to every citizen of Georgia: “I had a very good meeting with the Minister of Justice of Georgia, Paata Salia, and we had a fruitful discussion on how to deepen digital cooperation between the two countries and our ministries, especially in the direction of accelerating digital development and introducing artificial intelligence technologies.”
At the end of the meeting, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of Justice of Georgia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security of the Republic of Korea.
The document envisages the establishment of a Digital Governance Cooperation Center, which will facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience between the two countries, and the organization of joint workshops, seminars, and forums.
The center has the potential to serve as a regional hub for the development and implementation of new approaches to innovation and digital governance. The memorandum also plans the further development of the unified portal – my.gov.ge.
Together with Korean partners, Georgia will host a high-level working meeting on artificial intelligence in early October. The event was also attended by First Deputy Minister of Justice Beka Dzamashvili, Deputy Minister Tamar Zodelava, Chairman of the LEPL “Digital Governance Agency” Sandro Tsirekidze, and Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Korea Mikheil Tigishvili.
