Abstract
In 2002 the Zimbabwean government launched the Look East Policy which saw the country embarking on the Asian journey. The Look East Policy opened up opportunities for the Zimbabwean government to start relations with the Asian countries, including South Korea. South Korea’s relationship with Africa has its roots in the Cold War. With the onset of the Cold War negotiations between the United States and Soviet Union failed to lead to a unified Korea but a division of the North and the South. The United States supported the South and Soviet Union was for the North. Events taking place in the Korean Peninsula were a major determining factor for the start of diplomatic relations between Seoul and Africa.South Korea and Zimbabwe established diplomatic ties in 1994 and since then the two countries have had cordial relations. Assistance in various sectors has been rendered to Zimbabwe, these include agriculture, health, energy, technical training as well as water and sanitation. South Korean International Cooperation Agency (SKOICA) has been instrumental in assisting Zimbabweans in getting access to higher and tertiary education (The Herald 1 October 2016).
