The Kenyan leader also slammed North Korea's nuclear and missile provocation AND vowed to carry out necessary measures to fully implement UN resolutions on the regime.
Song Ji-sun starts us off.
Economic cooperation was the focus of summit talks in Kenya, the third and last stop of President Park's trip through East Africa.
Seoul and Nairobi sealed dozens of deals, ranging from industrial complex construction... to introducing Seoul's tech institute model.
Energy is a key word in terms of Kenya's future growth... as only produces 20-percent of its electricity demand.
But it's vying to increase it to 100-percent over the next 15 years, in line with its Vision 2030 to emerge as a new industrial nation.
Seoul will seek to participate in Kenya's geothermal and nuclear power plant projects... as well as build a block of Kenya's new industrial complex,... paving the way to export products there tax-free to the U.S. via East African free trade deals.
"When the industrial complex is completed, it will serve as a gateway for our companies, especially small and mid-sized businesses, to enter the markets of Africa, the Americas and Europe."
Korea also plans to share its knowledge in the e-government, ICT and health sectors,... while also helping to build an institute for science and technology in Kenya, modeled after KAIST, enabling Nairobi to foster high-tech for growth.
" Seoul appealed that it is the optimal partner for realizing Kenya's vision for growth with its experience... and set the framework for greater economic ties with the biggest economy in the East Africa region.
On the security front, the Kenyan president strongly condemned North Korea for its series of
nuclear and missile tests and pledged to carry out all necessary measures to fully implement UN resolution 22-70.
Urging Pyongyang to refrain from further provocations, the Kenyan leader vowed full support for President Park's efforts to denuclearize North Korea.
