SEOUL, February 24 (AJP) - Presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik left for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday to discuss cooperation in economic and defense sectors, artificial intelligence (AI) and other areas with the Middle Eastern country.
In a Facebook post, Kang said he was embarking on a three-day trip for working-level consultations to discuss follow-up measures after President Lee Jae Myung's state visit to the UAE in November last year.
Kang also said the trip serves as a return visit following Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, managing director of Abu Dhabi's Executive Affairs Authority, traveled to South Korea last month.
Kang's trip also comes just months after his previous visit to the UAE, during which he met with Al Mubarak and prepared for Lee's summit with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
At the time, the two leaders discussed opening a high-level dialogue channel and expanding cooperation on AI, while also exploring ways to jointly enter the global nuclear power market by leveraging experience gained from the construction of a nuclear power plant in Barakah, the Arab world's first commercial facility of its kind.
