South Korea expressed its desire to participate in the 8 trillion-won nuclear power plant construction project in the Czech Republic.
The new nuclear plant will be constructed in the southern region of Dukovany, beginning in 2029.
In Industry Minister Sung Yun-mo's virtual meetings with his Czech counterpart, Karel Havlicek, and special envoy for nuclear energy Jaroslav Mil, he emphasized that the project will pave the way for deeper cooperation in the energy segment.
Sung also pointed out that South Korea has successfully carried out the first unit of the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates, which started operations last month.
The three other reactors of the Barakah nuclear power plant are under construction.
Sung also suggested establishing a new communication channel to form deeper ties in artificial intelligence and robotics.
