South Korean officials say expanding ties in the area of minerals and resources would help improve the country\u2019s supply chain resilience in key industries such as batteries.<\/p>\n

“In order to boost cooperation with Africa, South Korea will expand ODA (Official Development Assistance program) to around 10 billion dollars until 2030. Also in order to encourage South Korean trade and investment in the region, South Korea will provide 14 billion dollars in export financing.”<\/p>\n

Trade with African nations currently accounts for less than 2% of South Korea\u2019s total imports and exports.<\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s outreach to the continent comes at a time when neighbour North Korea seeks to break out of diplomatic isolation.<\/p>\n
