Earlier, Mr. Kim-Youn–Chae, expressed the desire of the Korean government to take the bilateral relations between his country and Nigeria to a higher level. He assured that the Korean government would continue to provide capacity building for senior government officials.

President Bola Tinubu and the Korean President held a meeting in India recently, where they reportedly discussed how to deepen their bilateral relations in the areas of commerce, industry, investment, among others.

Kim-Youn–Chae also invited Nigeria to the first Korean-African Summit coming up in 2024. He said an official letter of invitation would be sent to President Tinubu to attend the summit.

Meanwhile, head of delegation of the European Union (EU) and ECOWAS to Nigeria, Samuela Isopi has said bilateral trade relationship between Nigeria and the EU has grossed over €45 billion over the years.

Isopi made the disclosure when she led a delegation on a courtesy visit to the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu.

Putting in the perspective the volume of trade between Nigeria and the EU, Isopi, said: “Trade has been growing over the years and by the latest figure that we have, it’s about forty-five billion euros (45 billion) with the balance in favour of Nigeria and the balance is growing”.

Since investment is a priority of the Bola Tinubu administration, Ambassador Isopi disclosed that the EU is currently “mapping out the presence of European companies here, We know that there’s much that can be done and we know that Nigeria is really a land of opportunities”.
