한-케냐 정상회담, 케냐 거점으로 경제협력 강화 예정
We start with President Park Geun-hye's East Africa tour-- now into its final leg.
In Kenya,... the biggest economy in the region... she is set to hold summit talks with her counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta.
Interestingly it was their parents that met and began the two countries diplomatic ties.
Our Song Ji-sun in Nairobi... starts us off.
Kenya, the largest economy in East Africa, is also Korea's biggest trading partner in the region.
The transportation and economic hub also functions as a gateway to the entire continent as well as to the European and American markets.
Kenya is vying to emerge as a new industrial nation with its Vision 2030 for growth,... and President Park's visit to Nairobi will be focused on laying a foundation for Korean businesses to enter East Africa.
In exchange, Korea will share its knowledge in the e-government, ICT and health sectors.
President Park will also ask for Nairobi's cooperation in implementing the UN sanctions on North Korea, with the hope that it will encourage other African nations to follow suit.
"The two sides will discuss ways to enhance cooperation in the areas of the economy and development, while also launching an anti-corruption initiative, improving efficiency in administration, boosting cooperation in the areas of security and counterterrorism and touching on regional issues and the North Korea nuclear issue."
"President Park has a full day ahead, with a summit, followed by a cultural event and a business forum. She will also take a look at how the Korea Aid development program will run in Kenya... and stop by the UN Office in Nairobi, which is the United Nations' headquarters in Africa.
Song Ji-sun, Arirang News, Nairobi."
