The 6th
Korea-UAE High-Level Nuclear Cooperation Committee convened on Tuesday, April
22, in Abu Dhabi, with Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Kang Insun and Minister
of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei serving as the chief
representatives of each country.
During
the meeting, both sides acknowledged that cooperation in the nuclear energy
sector remains a cornerstone of the “Special Strategic Partnership” between Korea
and the UAE. They agreed to further strengthen this collaboration by jointly
pursuing nuclear power projects in third countries and initiating new joint
research in nuclear science and technology, among other initiatives.
The
session also included progress reviews from three working groups, which
reported on the outcomes and developments since the 5th committee meeting held
in July 2023. Discussions covered new potential projects and avenues for
cooperation.
Both
parties committed to faithfully implementing the committee’s outcomes and to
regularly assessing the progress of ongoing initiatives. They also agreed to
hold the 7th High-Level Committee meeting in Korea next year.
On the
same day, Vice Minister Kang and Minister Al Mazrouei held a separate bilateral
meeting, where they reaffirmed the significance of the Barakah Nuclear Power
Plant project as a key pillar of the Korea-UAE strategic partnership. They
emphasized the importance of advancing bilateral nuclear cooperation with a
more strategic and long-term outlook.
In
addition to nuclear cooperation, the two sides recognized their close ties in
the traditional energy sector, with the UAE ranking as Korea’s third-largest
crude oil supplier as of 2024. Looking ahead, they agreed to expand their collaboration
to include joint oil stockpiling efforts and explore partnerships in future
energy sectors such as hydrogen and solar power.
