“South Korea and Singapore both share a common goal of delivering ever better services to citizens and businesses in its own country,” said RADM(NS) Ronnie Tay, Chief Executive Officer, Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore. “We hope that such a collaboration will allow both countries to tap on each other’s expertise and experiences to propel e-Government service developments to an even higher level.”
Kim Seang-Tae, President, National Information Society Agency (pictured), noted: “This [agreement] not only further develops both nations’ e-government standards, but also helps to further enhance e-government knowledge and experience sharing with other Asian countries.”
Last week, collaboration emerged as the central theme behind Singapore’s next e-government masterplan, although it is unclear whether or not Korea will play a role in the planning and execution of the plan, which is still under development.
Korea and Singapore are two of Asia’s most advanced e-government nations. Korea was ranked number one in the 2010 United Nations E-Government Survey (in which Singapore ranked 11th), while Singapore came top of the 2010 Waseda University International e-Government Ranking (in which Korea was ranked 7th).
