Abdullah Alswaha, Minister of Communications and Information Technology of Saudi Arabia, who leads the country's digital policy, has visited South Korea leading a key delegation. This visit aims to successfully drive 'Vision 2030,' Saudi Arabia's national digital transformation project.
During his stay in Korea, Minister Alswaha held a series of meetings with executives from major domestic companies, including SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Samsung Electronics.
