South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and his Guinean counterpart Alpha Conde met Wednesday for talks over expanding bilateral ties, Lee's office said.

During their first summit talks in Seoul, Lee called for Guinea 's support in helping South Korean businesses make inroads into the African country in resource development and infrastructure construction.

Conde voiced hope for increased cooperation in areas including development, agriculture and fisheries, and called for more investment by South Korean firms, according to the presidential office here.

The three-day tour ending Thursday marks the first-ever official visit by a Guinean leader since the two countries established their formal diplomatic ties six years ago.
