After securing a mega-sized nuclear contract with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Korea is pushing to form a closer partnership with the Middle Eastern country including providing education to foster a highly skilled workforce.

A total of 48 UAE students from the Institute of Applied Technology (IAT) as well as Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research have recently finished a month-long training session on nuclear facilities.
