Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak met with Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov Thursday and signed a memorandum of understanding pushing the "e-Moscow" project, modeled on Seoul City's e-government. The project, worth US$2.1 billion, will run from 2007, and will involve Seoul transferring e-government management processes to Moscow. South Korean companies like Samsung and LG will build the required e-government infrastructure.
The two cities agreed to push initial cooperation in three sectors: building an information system centre modeled on Seoul's Data Centre, digitising Moscow's real estate registration system, and a globalisation project for Moscow's online educational and cultural contents. In order to do this, the two sides agreed to compose taskforce teams for each project as soon as possible.
