Jong-Kun expressed his country’s interest in collaborating with Nigeria on the Deep Blue project.
He said, “We are interested in finding ways to secure the Gulf of Guinea, as Korea has a strong fishery and maritime presence there. We commend the minister and the ministry’s initiative and the relentless implementation of the project.
