President Yoon Suk Yeol has embarked on a four-day official visit to the Czech Republic to bolster economic ties and secure a multi-billion dollar nuclear energy project. Yoon's discussions with Czech President Petr Pavel and Prime Minister Petr Fiala will focus on cooperation in nuclear energy, trade, and technology, amidst appeals against the project from Westinghouse Electric and EDF. The visit aims to finalize a contract for building two nuclear power units at Dukovany, valued at approximately 24 trillion won ($18 billion), marking Korea's second nuclear power export project. Yoon's delegation includes major business leaders from Samsung, Hyundai, SK, and LG, emphasizing a commitment to strengthen industrial and technological partnerships. The trip aligns with the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations and reflects South Korea's growing security ties with Europe amid regional tensions. Yoon expressed confidence in overcoming potential legal obstacles to ensure the successful completion of the nuclear project.
