Mohammed bin Zayed visits Doosan Heavy Industries, Shin Kori3 facilities
Doosan, South Korea - May 27, 2010 (WAM)- General H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, crown prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, currently on a visit to South Korea, yesterday toured the facilities of Doosan Heavy Industries (DHI) in the city of Dooasn.

Sheikh Mohammed toured the exhibition which is dedicated to displaying the company's projects and operations such as building nuclear plants, water plants, power plants and containers.

Sheikh Mohammed said he was impressed with the progress made by the Korean heavy industries and the quality of DHI's products. He expressed the hope that the UAE-Korean partnership in the nuclear fields will represent a start of a long-term relation in the peaceful nuclear energy.
He noted that UAE's interest in the use of peaceful nuclear energy emanated from national and developmental consideration and was based on the country's vision for the future.
