This instrument creates synergies between the
Foreign Affairs Ministry and this international entity in the digital field and its positive impact on foreign policy.
Similarly, it will facilitate cooperation in digital transformation, mainly in the field of services offered to citizens.
During the meeting,
Minister Gonzalez-Olaechea requested the support from the international organization on three major reforms: normative rationalization, which will streamline steps in public administration; digital process reform, which will also strengthen the fight against corruption; and data unification in judicial and police spheres.
