The Ambassador of Republic of Korea to Nigeria, Mr KIM Pankyu has pledged to continue to work to sustain and improve the partnership between Nigeria and Korea that would be of great benefit to the two countries.
Pankyu made the pledge at a press conference in Abuja
The press conference was organised by the Embassy and Korean Cultural Centre in Nigeria (KCCN) to mark the 45th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between Nigeria and South Korea.
According to him,  since he came to Abuja as Ambassador about a year ago, the relationship between Korea and Nigeria has grown significantly.
“One of the most notable milestones was the first-ever Korea-Africa Summit last June. We facilitated high-level discussions between Korea and Nigeria, including meetings between the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Industry and Trade, and Tourism.
“The Nigerian delegation also participated in the Korea-Africa Business Summit and various forums on ICT, health, tourism, and energy. This was a major step in strengthening Korea’s engagement with
African countries, fostering inclusiveness and cooperation.
“This year marks the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Nigeria. We are committed to further strengthening our ties, particularly in economic cooperation, security, and people-to-people exchanges.
“Nigeria remains Korca’s most important trade and investment partner in Africa. It accounts for 10% of Korea-Africa trade, and over 70% of Korea’s project contracts in Africa.
“These contributions and collaboration demonstrate the mutual trust and friendship between Korea and Nigeria.
