Yoon and Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala attended the signing of memoranda of understanding (MOU) on nuclear energy cooperation during their visit to Doosan Skoda Power and JS Skoda, two nuclear energy companies in Plzen, an industrial city located about 90 kilometers west of Prague. If finalized, the deal -- estimated at around 24 trillion won (US$17.3 billion) -- will mark South Korea's second nuclear power plant export, following its 2009 project in the United Arab Emirates. Later in the day, business leaders of the two countries gathered for a forum to explore areas of cooperation in advanced industries, such as artificial intelligence, batteries and next-generation vehicles.
