희망봉 항로 넘어 ‘아프리카 전략’ 부상…“호르무즈·홍해 이중 봉쇄, 한국 공급망 재설계 시점”

Amid escalating regional conflicts and threats to maritime chokepoints, South Korea is being urged to shift its logistics strategy towards Africa, diversifying beyond the traditional Suez-Hormuz route. The resurgence of the Cape of Good Hope route and the advancement of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) present new opportunities for South Korea’s maritime, shipbuilding, and port industries. The upcoming South Korea-Africa Foreign Ministers’ Meeting is expected to serve as a turning point for supply chain diplomacy.
