We begin at the first-ever Korea-Africa Forum that was held in the capital of Korea.
Heads of state and other officials from more than 20 African nations took part in the conference to discuss future economic cooperation and growth.
Nam Kiyung has more.
Emerging Asian economies like Korea that rely heavily on foreign countries for natural resources are looking toward Africa for solutions.
The world's second-biggest continent‚ holding one-tenth of global oil deposits‚ and vast mineral resources is eyeing Korea and other Asian countries for infrastructure-building and developmental support.
KARENGA RAMADHANI‚ COMMUNICATIONS MINISTER: "Technology is one of such areas where Korea is a leader in the world with a very strong economy and very good economic lessons."
GODFREY SIMASIKU‚ ZAMBIA'S AMBASSADOR TO SEOUL: "As far as Burundi is concerned in the great lengths of Africa we have a lot of mining resources. We have energy and water resources that can be exploited."
At the inaugural Korea-Africa Forum‚ Korea announced it will triple its Official Development Assistance for African countries to 100 million US dollars a year by 2008.
BAN KI-MOON‚ KOREAN FOREIGN MINISTER: "Our first official Korea-Africa Forum has started out small in scale and slow in responding to the need for such a forum compared to those in other countries. As the saying goes‚ however‚ a good start is half the battle and I'm confident that substantial results can be achieved."
In the declaration‚ Seoul pledged to share its industrial and technological expertise with Africa‚ and promote sustainable growth by helping with public works projects‚ as well as in areas of public health and good governance.
The Korea-Africa Forum builds on Korea's Initiative for Africa Development‚ which President Roh Moo-hyun launched following his visit to Africa in March.
The forum complements the United Nations' efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015‚ which include halving the world's extreme poverty and combating the spread of HIV and AIDS.
"Seoul says it hopes to nurture the forum into a biennial summit of African leaders within the next ten years. It indicates that the meeting will be more than just talking heads but rather a consultative body for setting up concrete measures."
