He noted that Korea’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) remains closely aligned with Ghana’s national development priorities.

Over the years, Korea has supported Ghana through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) in areas such as infrastructure, energy, health, and education.

KOICA’s interventions have included ICT and vocational training, scholarship programmes, and healthcare delivery.

A notable example is the Ghana-Korea Centre of Excellence (G-K Impact Centre) at the University of Ghana, which focuses on nurturing ICT start-ups.

Speaking at the Korean National Foundation Day celebration in Accra on Thursday, September 4, 2025, Ambassador Park announced new initiatives to further boost Ghana’s education and health sectors.

These include the introduction of STEM and IT training programmes as well as the construction of additional health centres across the country.

“We are focused on STEM education and IT training. In the near future, we will build cutting-edge facilities to train both students and teachers. It may take a few years, but we are confident Ghana will soon have state-of-the-art infrastructure with advanced equipment,” Ambassador Park said.

He added that in the area of health, Korea is rolling out programmes such as the CHPS initiative, which seeks to strengthen primary healthcare through the enhancement of community medical and field facilities.

“These projects reflect our strong commitment to supporting Ghana’s healthcare system and improving access to essential services,” he stated.
