President Yoon Suk Yeol and United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan enjoyed a dinner and a visit to Changdeok Palace during the UAE leader's state visit to South Korea. The two leaders strolled through the palace grounds, visited the Huwon Secret Garden, and engaged in discussions about South Korean culture. They also watched a traditional royal court dance performance and shared tea in a relaxed atmosphere before heading to Cheong Wa Dae for dinner. President Yoon expressed his desire to further strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries, while President Mohamed expressed high expectations for the outcome of his visit. Upon his arrival in Seoul, President Mohamed met with prominent business leaders to explore opportunities for cooperation in advanced technology, defense, and energy. The visit will culminate in a summit between President Yoon and President Mohamed to discuss collaboration in various sectors, including energy, defense, and investment. This visit reciprocates President Yoon's state visit to the UAE in January 2023, during which President Mohamed announced a US$30 billion investment plan in South Korea and signed several memorandums of understanding covering energy, arms, and climate change, among other sectors.
