President Yoon Suk Yeol is considering sending a special envoy to the Czech Republic to follow up on discussions about South Korean nuclear power plant exports, his office said Monday, after a South Korean consortium was selected as a preferred bidder to build two nuclear reactors in the European country. Details have yet to be determined, including who will go and when, but the special envoy's aim will be to "hold follow-up discussions on nuclear power plant exports," a presidential official told reporters. A South Korean consortium led by Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power was named the preferred bidder for the Czech project last week. If a deal is finalized, it will mark the first time since 2009 that South Korea has won an overseas nuclear power plant construction project, following its contract to build the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates. Yoon instructed relevant ministries to "do everything possible to strengthen the nuclear power plant ecosystem" during a weekly meeting with h is senior secretaries earlier Monday, according to his office.
