Korea and the United Arab Emirates will work
together in tapping into other nuclear energy
markets -- mostly Middle Eastern and Afircan
countries... including Saudi Arabia.
Korea's trade minister Yoon Sang-jick said
Tuesday... the two countries are not far away
from signing a memorandum of understanding...
on the issue.
Yoon added... the leaders of Seoul and Abu
Dhabi reached an agreement in principle...
during President Park Geun-hye's recent trip
to the region... where Korea's technology
is being used to build nuclear power plants.
Korea will also likely be able to seal the
deal on becoming the main operator for the
next six decades of the nuclear reactors in
the UAE... currently under construction.
The contract will likely be worth some 20
billion U.S. dollars.
