REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BUSAN -- Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Yuddy Chrisnandi said Indonesia and South Korea will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for implementing e-government for bureaucratic reforms.

"The MoU will help us implement e-government in Indonesia," he said on board the presidential plane carrying President Joko Widodo to South Korea for a working visit on Wednesday (10/12).

According to Minister Yuddy Chrisnandi, South Korea has set the best example in implementing bureaucratic reforms through e-government and is looked up to by many countries in the world.

E-government will not only be integrated into ministries and state institutions but also into regional governments across the country to ensure better public services and transparency.

Minister Yuddy Chrisnandi, who is among the ministers accompanying President Joko Widodo to South Korea, is scheduled to attend an ASEAN-South Korean ministerial level dialog in Busan.
