        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2013 The Government of the Republic of Indonesia\nand the Republic of Korea have signed a cooperation agreement in the\nfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital governance. The\nMemorandum of Understanding (MoU) serves as the umbrella for cooperation\non developing AI in the public sector and public services. The MoU was\nsigned by Minister for Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB)\nRini Widyantini, on the Indonesian side, and by South Korea\u2019s Minister\nof Interior and Security (MOIS) Yun Hojung, in Seoul on Friday, 22 May\n2026. Rini said the MoU will underpin policy dialogue, technical\ncollaboration, organisational capability building, and knowledge\nexchange. \u2018This cooperation will ultimately bring about faster, simpler\npublic services that are closer to the people,\u2019 Rini said in a press\nbriefing. She emphasised that the collaboration is highly relevant to\nthe bureaucracy reform agenda currently pursued by PANRB, such as\nstrengthening Digital Public Infrastructure, Digital Population Identity\n(IKD), interoperability between agencies, and the INAku service portal.\nAll programmes will be accelerated through exchanges of best practices\nwith South Korea. South Korea, known as the \u2018Land of the Morning Calm\u2019,\nis described as one of the countries with the world\u2019s best digital\ngovernment ecosystems, and has been Indonesia\u2019s partner for more than\ntwo decades. Some collaborations already undertaken include the Digital\nGovernment Cooperation Centre, technical assistance from the National\nInformation Society Agency, and various initiatives supported by KOICA.\nAccording to Rini, the MoU supports Indonesia\u2019s accession to the\nOrganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). She\ncontends that Indonesia views accession as not merely a procedural step,\nbut a strategic opportunity to strengthen governance quality, raise\ninstitutional standards, and accelerate reforms with tangible benefits\nfor the public. \u2018We are committed to turning this Memorandum of\nUnderstanding into concrete, impactful results, not just a document on\npaper,\u2019 Rini asserted.<\/p>",
