South Korea is actively engaging the African continent, as Yoon Suk-yeol has demonstrated a desire to shore up ties with various states in sub-Saharan Africa, citing shared democratic values and economic interests across the continent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoon acknowledged South Korea\u2019s long-standing neglect of its diplomatic ties with African states when he <\/span>spoke<\/span><\/a> at the \u201cTogether with Africa\u201d summit \u2014 a reception for Kenyan President William Ruto and other African ambassadors \u2014 on Nov. 23.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He vowed that the ROK would serve as a partner to African countries and focused on the potential for cooperation in business and healthcare. Following the summit, ROK Prime Minister Han Duck-soo traveled to Mozambique and Ghana.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly after Han\u2019s return to Seoul, South Korea\u2019s State Council <\/span>held a meeting<\/span><\/a> during which the ROK\u2019s policies toward Africa, which the Presidential Office described as a \u201crising land of opportunity,\u201d featured prominently.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, that strategy will invariably bring South Korea into the throes of the <\/span>burgeoning Sino-U.S. rivalry<\/span><\/a> in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

RISING LAND OF OPPORTUNITY<\/b><\/p>\n

At present, the ROK is a minor player in Africa. Yoon acknowledged in a speech during the \u201cTogether with Africa\u201d summit that Africa only accounts for 1.3% of South Korea\u2019s total trade. The South Korean foreign policy community has frequently <\/span>recommended<\/span><\/a> that Seoul shore up ties with pan-African multilateral mechanisms, such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).<\/span><\/p>\n

Seoul\u2019s decision to send Han Duck-soo to two countries in particular \u2014 Mozambique and Ghana \u2014 suggests the first step by\u00a0 South Korea to enhance diplomatic ties in the region by focusing on states located in disparate geographic areas of Africa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two countries also underscore a crucial challenge the ROK will face in its sub-Saharan African diplomacy: balancing its profession of liberal values and its willingness to cooperate with illiberal actors on the continent. <\/span><\/p>\n

PASSING OFF SELF-INTEREST<\/b><\/p>\n

While in Mozambique, Han and his interlocutors <\/span>agreed<\/span><\/a> to strengthen energy cooperation, especially given Mozambique\u2019s abundance of natural gas. Such cooperation would be an extension of existing energy collaboration between Maputo and Seoul, seeing as South Korea <\/span>built<\/span><\/a> a floating natural gas liquefication and treatment plant off the coast of the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Han\u2019s visit to Ghana, during which he met the country\u2019s president, Nana Akufo-Addo, was the highest-ranking South Korean official to visit the country since Accra and Seoul established bilateral relations in 1977.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The presidential office <\/span>couched<\/span><\/a> Han\u2019s Ghana trip as a summit between two governments with shared liberal values. While in Accra, Han <\/span>praised<\/span><\/a> Ghana as a democratic model for countries across the African continent, echoing <\/span>sentiments expressed<\/span><\/a> during the summit between Yoon and Ruto on Nov. 23.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, if South Korea wishes for its profession of liberal values to be taken seriously, it must consider the risks of being perceived as a merely self-interested actor collaborating with illiberal forces, particularly given how a desire for closer economic ties with China <\/span>factors partially<\/span><\/a> into South Korea\u2019s economic activities in Mozambique.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S.-CHINA BATTLEGROUND<\/b><\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s decision to strengthen ties with Mozambique, a country that U.S. government-funded Freedom House has <\/span>labeled<\/span><\/a> \u201cpartly free,\u201d is based on Seoul\u2019s need to secure energy sources. To that end, Seoul has not only shown a desire to strengthen bilateral ties with Maputo but has also <\/span>engaged in cooperation<\/span><\/a> with China over the exploration and extraction of Mozambican natural resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the one hand, some degree of economic cooperation between South Korea and China in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa is inevitable, given the <\/span>link<\/span><\/a> between China\u2019s economic actions in Mozambique and South Korea\u2019s ability to pursue economic opportunities there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even so, in Mozambique in particular, there is <\/span>widespread skepticism<\/span><\/a> among even the country\u2019s elites regarding cooperation with China.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, there is a <\/span>potential for<\/span><\/a> strategic alignment between South Korea\u2019s actions in sub-Saharan Africa and those of the U.S. However, while cooperation with the U.S. could allow the ROK to promote shared liberal values, this could also mean that Africa will become a geographic extension of Seoul’s tenuous position between Beijing and Washington in the Indo-Pacific.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If Seoul truly believes that there are benefits to be had by an increased diplomatic and economic presence among African states, then the extant position of weakness from which South Korea approaches the continent means that the ROK will operate in a very narrow margin of error.<\/span><\/p>\n

EMPATHY DIPLOMACY<\/b><\/p>\n

One former presidential economic adviser has <\/span>warned<\/span><\/a> that Seoul risks behaving as a hierarchical and domineering force in Africa that could damage Seoul\u2019s diplomatic standing among actors across the entire continent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, South Korea\u2019s unique experience of <\/span>rapid transformation<\/span><\/a> from a post-colonial society to a donor nation could provide the ROK with unique leverage as it seeks to engage hearts and minds, as well as wallets, across Africa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Byun Oung, a research professor at the Graduate School of International Studies at Korea University, argued in a 2013 <\/span>analysis<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>South Korea can play a more constructive diplomatic and economic role in sub-Saharan Africa by avoiding the kinds of actions that would make others perceive it as yet another outside force ready to exploit Africa’s resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

As such, Byun recommended that Seoul engage in \u201cempathy diplomacy\u201d toward the continent\u2019s various actors \u2014 based on South Korea\u2019s own historical experience \u2014 to find common ground without appearing imperialistic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, no amount of empathy will undo any damage to South Korea\u2019s reputation that collaborators with illiberal forces in Africa \u2013 foreign or domestic \u2013 may bring about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Yoon administration\u2019s decision to prioritize relations with Mozambique at the outset of its Africa strategy underscores inherent risks, the case of ROK-Mozambique ties could be a valuable bellwether for gauging how Seoul can and should approach its policies toward sub-Saharan Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n
