The Rural Development Administration of Korea opened an agricultural research center of the Korea Project on International Agriculture in Lima, Peru, Tuesday.

The state-run agricultural research institute said the center would provide technical cooperation for a range of activities, from agricultural development projects to the training of Peruvian researchers.

The opening of the center also commemorates the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The administration has set up KOPIA centers in 16 countries, including Peru. Seven of the countries are in Asia, four in Africa and five in South America.

It is also scheduled to open centers in Mongolia, Uganda, Senegal and the Dominican Republic.

KOPIA is a project set up to help developing countries improve their agricultural productivity through technical support and joint resources development.
