The minister made the remarks at the opening of a
symposium on the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s present and future, which was
jointly organized by the Korean embassy in Amman and the industry Ministry in
honor of the 60th anniversary of the start of diplomatic relations between
Jordan and Korea.
Since 1962, Jordan and South Korea have been
committed to working together in a number of areas of shared interest,
particularly in the fields of energy, communication, water, and community and
youth empowerment, the minister said.
Shamali referred to
South Korea’s substantial experience with the fourth industrial revolution’s
applications, and noted that Jordan, which is rapidly advancing in its digital
transformation, might profit from this knowledge, which includes greener
automobiles, information technologies, and 5G networks.
Regarding digitization, the minister noted that the
Kingdom has emerged as a pioneer in the MENA region in terms of fostering
innovation, expanding job opportunities, and developing digital and information
systems.
It has also served as a hub for some of the biggest
international businesses in this sector.
Moreover, he added, Jordan has emerged as one of the
top nations boasting competent experts in information technology, artificial
intelligence, cyber-security, and other areas connected to the Fourth
Industrial Revolution.
The Jordanian government established the “Jordanian
Policy for Artificial Intelligence” and created the “National Charter for
Artificial Intelligence Ethics”, which addresses the best application of
artificial intelligence technologies, in recognition of the significance of the
industrial revolution and its role in enhancing lives and achieving sustainable
economic development.
The ministers asserted that the government is
committed to implementing initiatives for small and medium-sized businesses to
enhance the capabilities of entrepreneurs, facilitate their access to
financing, encourage them to adopt modern technologies for their businesses,
and showcase their products and services through electronic commerce. The goal
is to reduce production costs, maximize resource utilization, increase output
and exports, achieve higher profit margins, and achieve greater
competitiveness.
“We recognize
Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies as a means to achieve these goals,
and we look forward to using the 60th anniversary of
Jordan-Korea diplomatic
relations as a new beginning in building a Jordanian-S. Korean partnership to
establish joint projects that employ Fourth Industrial Revolution
technologies,” Shamali said.
Korean Ambassador Lee Jae-wan emphasized the importance of
joint action to increase cooperation between the two countries in various fields
and fully leverage Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies in light of the
opportunities available in both Jordan and South Korea.
