Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong/ Yonhap
SEOUL, November 14 (AJP) - Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hanwha Group Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan are among a group of prominent South Korean executives traveling to the United Arab Emirates next week, industry sources said on Friday.
The two leaders are expected to attend the Korea-UAE Business Round Table on Nov. 19, an event organized by the Korea Economic Association and KOTRA. The gathering follows last month’s APEC meeting in Gyeongju, where South Korean officials and business chiefs underscored the need for stronger international cooperation amid global geopolitical volatility.
Industry officials said roughly 15 top executives will join the delegation. Lee, who has shown growing interest in investments and partnerships in the Gulf region, is expected to raise discussions on artificial intelligence and next-generation technologies.
Kim, whose conglomerate has emerged as a major player in aerospace and defense, is likely to focus on expanding defense exports — an area where the UAE has become one of South Korea’s most important customers.
