According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on Wednesday, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon signed a memorandum of understanding with East African Community Secretary General Richard Sezibera.
The EAC, which consists of the republics of Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi and Tanzania, was formed to promote regional cooperation and development.
The MOU contains agreements regarding the advancement of e-governing for development, the establishment of an organizational information management service, and cooperation among telecommunications technology industries.
The capital is hoping this MOU with the EAC will be an opportunity to help solve the digital divide in African regions and strengthen mutual assistance.
This will be the 12th MOU the capital has signed with other countries regarding e-government systems, including Moscow and Hanoi.
