KITA organized this event to foster active economic cooperation between Korea and the Arab region. In his dinner speech, Chairman Koo stated, "The Republic of Korea has experience shifting its industrial focus from light industries to heavy industries such as automobiles, shipbuilding, and petrochemicals, and then to semiconductors and electronic products. Now, we are promoting a transition to advanced industries such as bio, ICT, and next-generation nuclear power."
He added, "It is encouraging that Arab countries are actively pursuing industrialization policies such as developing manufacturing, hydrogen, and renewable energy industries in preparation for the post-oil era of carbon neutrality. If Korea's industrialization experience combines with the potential of Arab countries, it can create great synergy," he emphasized.
