Monday, 17 January 2022 (YJC)_ While the South Korean president was in the UAE for a meeting with Mohammed bin Zayed, Abu Dhabi officials canceled the meeting due to an emergency and unforeseen issue.
A senior South Korean official announced the cancellation of President Moon Jae-in's meeting with UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi for an unforeseen reason by the UAE.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the South Korean president, who is on a three-day trip to the West Asian region, is currently in Dubai to meet with the UAE Crown Prince, but his scheduled meeting with Mohammed bin Zayed has been canceled by Abu Dhabi.
The South Korean official said Emirati officials had declared the cancellation of the meeting an unforeseen and urgent matter and had respectfully canceled the meeting.
Yonhap further wrote:
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. The South Korean president was scheduled to deliver a keynote address on the issue of carbon dioxide on Monday, followed by talks with the UAE's de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Zayed, on deepening bilateral ties, climate issues, and security and defense issues.
Yonhap News Agency added:
We asked the South Korean official if the reason for the cancellation of the meeting was related to the Covid-19 issue or not. The Korean official said that the UAE government had not given us any specific reason.
South Korea supplies more than 50 percent of its oil needs from the Gulf states, as well as has strong economic and military ties with the UAE and has launched two nuclear reactors for the UAE.
