South Korea's minister on ICT policy will brief the international community this week on the nation's digital vision and its efforts to foster a "creative economy," his ministry said Monday.

Choi Yang-hee, minister of science, ICT and future planning, is scheduled to attend an OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Digital Economy, and deliver a speech.

Under the theme of "Innovation, Growth and Social Prosperity," it will open in Cancun, Mexico, on Wednesday for a two-day run. The upcoming session will be the third of its kind. The previous one was held in Seoul in 2008

This year South Korea is among vice-chair countries, along with Canada, France, the United States and the European Union.

Choi will serve as a moderator in a discussion on the Internet of Things.

He also plans to introduce the government's campaign to promote digital startups in partnership with the civil sector as a driving force for innovation, the ministry said.

The minister is due to hold several bilateral meetings with his counterparts from other OECD member states, as well as Houlin Zhao, secretary general of the International Telecommunication Union, and Andrus Ansip, the European Commission's vice president for the Digital Single Market. (Yonhap)
