The UK has signed a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) with South Korea to strengthen government digital services, the Cabinet Office has announced.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office Alex Burghart and South Korea’s Minister of the Interior and Safety Sang-min Lee signed the statement for the two countries to work together to strengthen digital capabilities within their respective governments.
As part of the MoU, the Government Digital Service will work with representatives from South Kore to share best practice and explore new opportunities in areas such as AI.
Burghart said: “Sharing best practices with the international community is essential so that we can build capability in digital governance and deliver better services to the public.”
The Cabinet Office said the two nations will also seek to ensure technologies are used responsibly, and uphold democratic values, and to ensure there is equal access to technologies across societies.
Additionally, the agreement considers how both countries can enhance their digital workforces, as they work to recruit the best talent in digital, data and technology into each government.
