Korea has asked Libya to support the expansion of Korean companies' presence in the North African country, particularly in the oil and refining sectors, Seoul's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday.
First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo made the request on Monday during a meeting with Fatalla Elzuni, Libya's minister of state for African affairs, who was in Seoul to attend the Korea-Africa foreign ministers' meeting, according to the ministry.
