UAE and South Korea ... A comprehensive strategic partnership

The United Arab Emirates is the only country in the Middle East that has Special Strategic Partnership with the Republic of Korea. The Partnership has continued for more than 40 years. Based on the Partnership, the cooperation between the two countries now covers several fields.

The Special Strategic Partnership paved the way for bilateral cooperation between the UAE and the ROK in a number of economic projects and cultural exchanges include the energy sector, clean energy, artificial intelligence (AI), whereby the Baraka nuclear power project has been implemented. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has showed the strength of the bilateral ties between the two countries, as the two sides has been in close cooperation and consultation to combat the spread of the virus. We in the UAE make our utmost effort for the post COVID-19 recovery plan in collaboration with our strategic partners.
