The government of South Korea has committed 8 million South African rand (US$980,000) to establish an Information Communications Technologies Co-operation Center (ITCC) in South Africa.

Radhakrishna Padayachie, the South African deputy minister of communications, and Nam-Joon Chung, vice minister in the Korean Ministry of Public Administration and Security, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to formalize the three-year commitment.

The center will act as an e-skills training center and help implement and develop e-government and research and development projects.

The center also will promote the exchange of complementary experiences for the mutual development of the ITCC for the two countries, Padayachie added.
