DUBAI: South Korean President Moon Jae-in met on Wednesday with Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Nayef Al Hajraf to discuss potential partnerships between both sides. 

Both men “stressed the importance of strengthening the close partnership between the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Republic of Korea at all levels,” according to a statement issued by the GCC. 

They discussed the latest international developments while reviewing aspects of bilateral relations and opportunities for cooperation in the fields of renewable energy, defense industry, health care, and digital education. 

Hours earlier, both sides agreed to resume negotiations on free trade, with an agreement expected to be reached within six months.
