Korea's trade promotion agency said Friday that it has opened a trade center in Ivory Coast in the latest efforts to make inroads into the West Africa market.

The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency said the trade center opened in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, on Thursday and the center will also handle trade affairs in seven other West African countries, including Senegal. The opening raised the number of KOTRA's overseas trade centers to 126 in 126 countries.
