Soth Korean Gov’t to pump in 2.2 tln won through 2022 for 4th industrial revolution
South Korea’s government said Thursday it will allocate 2.2 trillion won (US$2 billion) for research and development (R&D) projects throughout 2022 to better prepare for what it calls the fourth industrial revolution.
Under the project dubbed “I-Korea 4.0,” the Presidential Committee on the Fourth Industrial Revolution said it will secure new growth engine for the country by expanding industries’ productiveness and competitiveness under the idea of “intelligence, innovation, inclusiveness, and interaction.”
The government said the project will generate some 366,000 new jobs along with 128-trillion-won worth of wealth by 2022.
“The National Assembly and the government both consider the fourth industrial revolution as crucial,” said Science Minister Yoo Young-min, claiming the ministry will bring different governmental bodies together to promptly carry out projects.
The government said it will foster some 46,000 R&D experts, while providing education programs to South Korean workers to cope with the changing scope of the labor market. It will expand the benefits of employment insurance to provide people with stronger social safety net.
Seoul will also give more leeway to businesses through deregulation, and assist projects to adopt the fifth-generation network by March 2019.
For profitable emerging businesses with high risks, the government said it will create a fund worth 10 trillion won to support them financially.
The government will also adopt robots to support patient care, and provide subsidies to elderly citizens suffering from Alzheimer’s.

Affected products from the 3 subsidiaries have been supplied to 274 clients.

PM Abbasi deny safe havens in Pakistan
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has rejected US accusations of Pakistan providing sanctuary to militant groups, stressing that attacks in the region were originating from Afghanistan.
In an interview with Bloomberg, the prime minister said Pakistan would act against terrorists including the Haqqani network within its borders.
“We have asked them to share any intelligence about the Haqqani network, we will take action,” Abbasi said. “The attacks, however, are being made from across the border, we have pinpointed even the sanctuaries of the attackers. Cross-border infiltration from Afghanistan is the order of the day,” Prime Minister Abbasi told Bloomberg.
The Pakistani military and civilian leadership have denied the presence of terrorist safe havens on its soil on numerous occasions.
“There are no organised bases of any terrorist organisations in the country anymore,” said the spokesperson for the Pakistan Army earlier in October.
Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif had also conveyed the same message to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during his recent visit to Washington.
When asked about the release of Jammat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, the prime minister replied: “The court, a three-judge bench, has released him saying there are no charges against him, the country has a law you know. Prosecute him internationally if there is substance to these charges — these are accusations only. No evidence has been provided by India.”
Last week, the White House said there would be repercussions for US-Pakistan relations unless Islamabad took action to detain and charge newly freed Hafiz Saeed, accused of masterminding a 2008 assault in Mumbai, India.
“If Pakistan does not take action to lawfully detain Saeed and charge him for his crimes, its inaction will have repercussions for bilateral relations and for Pakistan’s global reputation,” the White House said in a statement.
Saeed has repeatedly denied involvement in the Mumbai attacks in which 10 gunmen attacked targets in India’s largest city. The violence brought nuclear-armed neighbours Pakistan and India to the brink of war.Input geonews
