SPEECHES & REMARKS
BRIEFINGS
This evening at Cheong Wa Dae, President Moon Jae-in spoke on the phone with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces. During their 20-minute telephone conversation that started at 9:00 p.m., President Moon expressed his gratitude to the UAE Government and the Crown Prince for playing a critical role in the release of a Korean national who had been abducted in Libya.
Since 2014, Crown Prince Mohammed has been in de facto control of state affairs on behalf of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President and Ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, who is currently ill.
President Moon delivered profound appreciation on behalf of the Korean Government and people to the UAE Government for playing an active role in trying to resolve the issue since Crown Prince Mohammed promised, during his official visit to Seoul in February, to provide support in securing the Korean hostage’s freedom. In addition, the President said it is a symbolic and exemplary case that well illustrates to the world how robust the two countries’ special strategic partnership is.
The Korean Government received the Korean hostage from the UAE side at around midnight (Korean time) on May 17, and the freed hostage arrived in Korea at 11:10 a.m. on May 18.
Saying that he is very pleased to have done something that delights Korea, the Crown Prince expressed the hope that bilateral relations would make further headway going forward.
In addition, President Moon noted that bilateral relations are nearing their highest level thanks in part to the Korea-UAE summit last February and that substantive cooperation is being carried out as planned in such new industries as 5G and artificial intelligence as well as in conventional energy sectors such as oil and gas.
The two leaders agreed to further deepen and expand the Korea-UAE special strategic partnership while maintaining close communications at various levels.
Sharing concerns about current developments in the Middle East, especially the recent attacks on civilian ships operated by third countries near the Strait of Hormuz, they agreed to work together for regional peace and stability.
In a statement issued on May 12, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation expressed grave concerns about premeditated “sabotage attack” against four commercial vessels off the port of Fujairah, the eastern part of the UAE, close to the Strait of Hormuz.
