KT to cooperate with Mongolian gov't on DX techs

South Korea's telecom service provider KT Corp. disclosed on Monday its plans to collaborate with the Mongolian government to usher in a digital transformation (DX) aimed at nurturing the country's key growth sectors and refining its e-government services.

A final report meeting concerning Mongolia's DX consulting was recently conducted at the Mongolian parliament in Ulaanbaatar, with high-ranking officials from the Mongolian Ministry of Digital Development and Communications in attendance.

The partnership between KT and the Mongolian government will focus on enhancing the digital government's supervisory role, cultivating national growth sectors through DX in the tourism and agriculture fields, refining e-government services, and introducing intelligent traffic control.

Presently, the Mongolian government is striving to diversify its industries to restructure an economy heavily reliant on mining. It rolled out the Digital Nation plan last year to foster new growth drivers via national DX and to extend its application to various industries.

The creation of the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications is a testament to the government's commitment to realizing this plan.
