I am pleased to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Korea IT Times on its fifth anniversary. Since its first publication in July 2004, Korea IT Times has played an instrumental role in providing business leaders, government officials and the general public with accurate real-time news and professional analysis on the latest developments of the Korean IT industry. Today, in the short period of 5 years, Korea IT Times has grown into the leading English-language IT magazine in Korea and the global source for Korean IT industry news.

I highly commend the fifth anniversary of Korea IT Times.

National Information Society Agency (NIA) is a newly launched organization under the current administration's policy to reform the public sector by merging NIA, devoted to creating a knowledge information society, and Korea Agency for Digital Opportunity and Promotion (KADO), devoted to bridging the digital divide.

It is a great pleasure for me to congratulate the Korea IT Times on its 5th anniversary. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are now an integral part of our everyday life as well as one of the driving forces behind higher productivity, growth and employment. In Germany, the ICT sector now contributes more to value creation than the classical technologies of automotive and mechanical engineering.

On the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the Korea IT Times, please accept our heartiest congratulations.

As is well known, the IT industry of Korea has made a great contribution to enhancing our national competitiveness, job creation, and improvement of the international trade balance. In particular, it played a critical role in breaking through the Asian financial crisis in 1997.

The Korea IT Times is a very informative periodical with well researched articles on the development of IT industry in ROK and abroad. The articles are written in a language which can be easily understood even by non professionals. India is known for its strength in IT industry – particularly in development of software and phenomenal growth of telecommunications.

It’s my pleasure to congratulate the Korea IT Times on its fifth anniversary. Using English as a tool, and based on information and communications, the Korea IT Times has shown new business vistas to its readers at home and abroad, business leaders in the industry, and those in and out of academia. As both an online news provider and an offline journal, this English monthly has contributed to the development of IT journalism; quite a new field in the IT industry in the country.

It is my honor to congratulate the Korea IT Times on its fifth anniversary. The Korea IT Times is one of the world’s leading magazines online and offline. I have found the monthly dedicated to introducing the Korean IT industry to readers around the world.

I also would like to speak words of praise to all staff of the English-language monthly magazine for their contributions to the growth of the Korean IT industry over the past five years.

All of the 2.7 million residents in Incheon Metropolitan City and I would like to congratulate the Korea IT Times on its fifth anniversary with all our hearts.

The Korea IT Times has been on the path to growth as Korea’s first and only global IT-based English-language magazine by providing a lot of IT information to its readers worldwide, just as the City of Incheon has been on the right path to emerging as a global city.

All of our 12 million residents in Gyeonggi Province are joining me in congratulating the Korea IT Times on its fifth anniversary with all our hearts. And I’d also like to thank the staff of the monthly for contributing to the growth of the Korean IT industry and welfare of Korea over the last five years.

I wish and expect the Korea IT Times to play an important role in leading the Korean IT industry to open a bright future for Korea, a top-class country in the world.
