The Kuwaiti side was headed by Ali Al-Sharida, General Manager of the Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT), in the presence of Kuwaiti Ambassador to South Korea Muteb Al-Mutoteh, the embassy said in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). The South Korean side was led by Vice-Minister of Public Administration and Security Byung-Kyu Kang. Seoul’s National Information Society Agency chief also attended the meeting.
During a two-day meeting concluded Tuesday, both sides discussed ways to enhance cooperation between the CAIT and the South Korean ministry under the 2007 IT agreement, highlighting South Korea’s advice provided to the CAIT that will help it follow-up and improve the performance of the Kuwait Information Network and its development, as well as to review and evaluate the requirements of the second phase of the Kuwait Government Online (KGO) Portal for gaining access to the integration of e-government services.
The talks also covered the implementation of some vital projects in Kuwait, such as the Kuwait Center for emergency computer and security management system in the event of disasters.
Benefiting from the South Korean IT experiences and achievements — the world’s best — the MoU is expected to accelerate the progress in implementation of IT projects in Kuwait and raise Kuwait’s international status.
For his part, Al-Mutoteh said, “The visit by Al-Sharida and his delegation to Seoul and their series of meetings with South Korean officials will promote mutual IT relations and to serve the common interests of both countries.” The ambassador also said that the meeting with Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Dal-gon was very fruitful, noting that the Korean minister expressed strong desire to strengthen ties with Kuwait and its IT development.
