The Export-Import Bank of Korea (Korea Eximbank) has intensified its financial diplomacy efforts by engaging in high-level discussions with officials from 10 African nations. These talks took place during the 8th Korea-Africa Economic Cooperation (KOAFEC) Ministerial Conference, which saw the participation of government delegations from 45 African countries.
Hwang Ki-yeon, the CEO of Korea Eximbank, met with the vice president of Botswana and finance ministers from Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, Egypt, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and Sierra Leone. The discussions focused on potential development projects, with a particular emphasis on how Korea Eximbank can support Korean companies in entering the continent's expanding markets.
One notable project under consideration is the construction of an artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology training institute in Tanzania, a proposal that was approved in August.
