Tridge summary

Deok-Hoon Han, Head of External Cooperation Division, Korea Maritime and Fisheries Development Institute -Responsible for requests from developing countries in the fishery sector -Support is insufficient compared to demand -It will be of great significance if we actively promote the development and cooperation of marine and fisheries ODA projects. The problem of valuable distribution and consumption of seafood As a major concern of the international community, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), along with the issue of protecting resources and safe production of seafood, I recently went on a business trip to Senegal as part of a Senegalese fishing port feasibility study ordered by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. It was my first visit to Senegal in about 4 years since 2018, and I noticed a lot of progress during that time. Railway stations such as the capital Dakar Station were being built, the introduction of high-speed rail was being promoted, and an administrative city like Sejong City in Korea was being built. In addition, as a new airport and roads were newly laid, I felt that the basic infrastructure was being greatly improved overall.
