The South Korean government has announced an increase in Korean business interests in Zimbabwe, signalling potential for enhanced economic collaboration between the two countries.
Korea’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Jae Kyung Park, made the announcement after paying a courtesy call on Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga this morning.
The east Asian country has been actively collaborating with Zimbabwe through the Korea Programme on International Agriculture (KOPIA) and is now keen to expand cooperation.
“The focus of today’s discussion with the Vice President was on the agricultural sector,” said Ambassador Park.
“I updated the Vice President on what the Embassy and our agricultural office, KOPIA, are planning and implementing, including the seed potato project and the small grain project.
“I was happy to share with the Vice President the growing interest from Korean companies, mining companies, and pharmaceutical companies, in having good business relations with their counterparts in Zimbabwe,” he said.
