The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 21st that it will hold a public-private international forum at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul to coincide with this year's Open Government Week.
Open Government Week is an international initiative launched in 2011 to realize the values of open government, including government transparency and citizen participation. A total of 75 countries, including South Korea, are members.
This year's forum will be held under the theme 'Reflection and Leap of Open Government in South Korea,' and will be divided into two parts.
The first part will share evaluations of the Korean government's activities, and new proposals will be introduced. The second part will hold discussions on the themes of 'anti-corruption, digital, and citizen participation.'
Ko Ki-dong, acting Minister, noted, 'We will continue to work with civil society and relevant departments to create open government outcomes that citizens can feel.'
