South Korea said Thursday that it hopes to participate in large-scale infrastructure projects worth more than $10 billion in Senegal.

President Park Geun-hye expressed South Korea's hope to participate in the projects during a summit with her Senegalese counterpart, Macky Sall, in Seoul, Cheong Wa Dae said.

The western African country has been pushing to build public transportation networks and industrial infrastructure and other projects worth $10.1 billion in partnership with private companies.

South Korea hopes to win some of the projects in Senegal.

The summit is the latest in a series of meetings that Park has held with African leaders since she took office in 2013. Last year, she met with the leaders of Uganda, Ivory Coast and Rwanda.

Trade volume between South Korea and Senegal stood at $180 million in 2014, according to South Korean data. (Yonhap)
