The South Korean Ambassador to Nigeria, Kyu-Duk, on Tuesday said he is seeking possibilities where companies in South Korea can partner Cross River State in boosting the socio-economic activities of the area, while deepening partnership on culture and tourism.

According to the Ambassador, who expressed his country’s desire to strengthen ties between his country, Federal and State Governments in order to tap from its enormous natural resources, Cross River State is blessed with lots of solid mineral deposits which can be tapped and refined.

Speaking at the Governor’s office in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital on a courtesy visit to Governor Ben Ayade, he noted that the partnership will boost it to a more rapid economic zone owing to the fact that South Korea is one of the countries that has achieved economic development relatively within a short period.
