Good afternoon. Let me start today’s briefing.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 26, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Choi Jongmoon will hold the 4th Korea-UAE High-level Consultation on Nuclear Cooperation with Minister of Energy and Infrastructure of the United Arab Emirates Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei in a virtual format.
In the upcoming consultation, the two sides will extensively discuss ways to strengthen nuclear cooperation between the two countries, including the construction of the Barakah nuclear power plant and joint entry into nuclear power plant markets of third countries, research and development (R&D) on nuclear science and technology, and nuclear safety regulations and nuclear security.
The consultation is expected to serve as an opportunity to further deepen the “special strategic partnership” between the two countries following President Moon Jae-in’s visit to the UAE from January 15 to 18.
