South Korea Seeks to Invest in Maritime Transport and Agriculture in Cabinda, Angola
The Ambassador of the Republic of South Korea to Angola, Kwangjin Choi, announced on Thursday in Cabinda that his country is interested in investing in the province’s maritime transport sector.
Speaking to the press after a meeting with the Governor of Cabinda, Suzana de Abreu, the ambassador said South Korean companies are exploring opportunities to supply passenger and cargo vessels to improve mobility in the province, which is geographically isolated from the rest of Angola.
He added that the discussion also covered potential South Korean investment in Cabinda’s agricultural sector, noting the region’s strong natural potential for production and development.
Ambassador Choi highlighted that bilateral cooperation has strengthened significantly since Angolan President João Lourenço’s official visit to South Korea last year.
He pointed to the participation of South Korean companies at the most recent FILDA fair, where more than 40 products were showcased, as a sign of deepening ties.
During his stay in Cabinda, the ambassador visited key infrastructure sites, including the Cabinda Refinery, the Malembo Thermal Power Plant, the Port of Cabinda, and the Maritime Passenger Terminal.
