Online government services are gaining more popularity in Ecuador, a country on the other side of the Earth from Korea.
Vice Minister Chung Chae-gun of the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs paid a visit to Ecuador on May 18 and held a meeting with Leonardo Bernal, assistant secretary to the National Secretary of Public Administration, and other representatives. They talked about strengthening cooperation on e-government technologies, strategies to promote innovation and public security to fend off international crime.
On May 19, a workshop was held to share know-how on the management of online government services and strategies to maintain online security. From May 20 through 22, lectures were given about the Government Integrated Data Center, jointly prepared by the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs, the National Information Society Agency and the National Secretary of Public Administration.
Bilateral cooperation on online government services began in 2012 when Korea exported its Universal Pass (UNI-Pass) system to Ecuador. Afterward, the country participated in an e-government global forum in 2013 and a U.N. public administration forum in 2014, showing interest in the system. Ecuador finally signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea to cooperate on e-government services in June 2014, becoming the first nation in South America to establish such ties with Korea.
