S. Korea to offer US$ 35M in assistance to Cameroon

SEOUL, Nov. 26 — South Korea will offer US$ 35 million worth of aid to Cameroon to help the African country train industrial workers, the Export-Import Bank of Korea said Thursday.

The state-run bank said the economic development cooperation fund (EDCF) will be used to build three new training centers, buy training materials and educate people that can teach students.

The EDCF support for the western African country is the first of its kind and could help South Korean businesses expand economic cooperation with the region, the bank said. (PNA/Yonhap)
