High-ranking government officials from 11 countries including Indonesia and Mongolia watch a demonstration by a KOMSCO employee at the KOMSCO headquarters in Daejeon, Tuesday, where they got a glimpse into Korea's plan to shift to a mobile ID card from plastic ID cards based on blockchain technology. Their visit to KOMSCO, a state-owned corporation in charge of printing and minting banknotes, coins and other government documents, is part of a digital government policy management program by the Ministry of Interior and Safety, which aims to share experiences in the digitalization of government functions and seeks further cooperation.
