Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan on Sunday stressed the need for better collaboration that would enhance the relationship between the Nigerian and Korean parliaments.<\/p>\n

Speaking while hosting a special envoy of the President of Korea led by Mr Kab Yoon Jeong, the Senate President said the Nigerian and Korean parliaments could work together and exchange visits with a view to creating a better relationship.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe next Assembly which will be inaugurated on the 13th of June will look into working for Nigeria\u2019s National Assembly-Korean Parliament relationship so that we have a joint committee that will be involved in exchange of visits between the parliaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will create a better relationship not only with the countries as it is, which is largely at the moment, concentrated on the executive side of government but also to have the parliaments of Korea and Nigeria exchange visits and working together to enhance the relationship between our two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

The delegation arrived in Abuja ahead of the Monday inauguration of a new President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Lawan explained to his guests why the Presidential inauguration event scheduled for Monday is a big deal to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, it is a big deal because this is the first time that democracy in Nigeria will witness this long period of sustainability and we are very optimistic that democracy is taking a very strong root in Nigeria and we don\u2019t expect anything that will stop this development of our democracy to a higher and broader level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Senate President said the trade between Nigeria and Korea was growing in \u201cleaps and bounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany Nigerian business men visit Korea for business even though the balance of trade at the moment is skewed but I believe that Nigeria will also make much more impact in the Korean businesses because we have so many things that the Koreans will also like to buy from Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take Korea as one of our major trading partners and I believe that it is because our business men and women find it very encouraging. That is why they can go to Korea and do a lot of business.<\/p>\n

\u201cOurs is not only about businesses in Korea. We also have over 300 students in Korea. Some of the students are on your scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to take this opportunity to thank the Korean Government for extending such support to our students. Even those who are not on scholarship found the environment convenient to undertake their various studies,\u201d he further stressed.<\/p>\n

Lawan assured the delegation that Nigeria would take a leading role in the Africa-Korea summit being planned for next year.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the leader of the delegation, Mr Jeong made a case for closer cooperation between Nigeria and Korea and also invited the leadership of the Nigerian Parliament to the 2024 Africa-Korea Summit being planned by President Yoon Suk Yeol administration of the Republic of Korea.<\/p>\n
