CITA Chief B. Bolor-Erdene and NIA Executive Principal Park Won-jae signed the MoU. According to the MoU, the ‘Information Technology Center’ will be established in Mongolia’s remote districts or khoroo with young population dominant and Korean specialists will provide advices on its operations for four years.
When the center is established, the latest advanced technology skills, such as artificial intelligence and big data will be taught free of charge to citizens by local and international teachers and specialists as well as skill programs are planned to be implemented. Construction work of the first center is planned to commence this December and complete in August, 2022. The opening of the center is expected to be held in November, 2022.
