SEOUL: Ambassador Hamad Al Kaabi, UAE Permanent Representative to the IAEA, has said that the UAE approach and contract with the Korean led consortium demonstrated the viability of a robust model for the introduction of nuclear energy programmes in the Gulf region.
A model that could serve as a viable approach for other GCC countries, which experience similar challenges and conditions as the UAE.
Speaking at “GCC Days” in Seoul, the UAE envoy said,” UAE partnership with the Korean nuclear industry has the potential to be expanded to support other GCC countries’ plans to develop new nuclear energy sectors in the region.”
“Nuclear energy is emerging in the GCC as a proven, reliable, commercially competitive option to meet aggressive energy demand growth in the future. The nuclear programme requires a set of capabilities and skills not readily availability in the GCC countries.”
