Choi You-sun files this report from Riyadh.
It′s only been four months since President Park Geun-hye met the Saudi king, who at the time was his country′s crown prince and attending the G20 Brisbane Summit
The presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae says this reflects Seoul and Riyadh′s commitment to their relations.
At Tuesday′s summit, President Park and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud are expected to discuss reinforcing their economic cooperation in the fields of nuclear energy, health care and ICT.
As a matter of fact, the talks are expected to focus on giving Korea a chance to export a small 100-thousand-kilowatt nuclear reactor to Saudi Arabia.
That′s about one-tenth the size of the more common type of reactor.
Nicknamed SMART, for its name System-Integrated Modular Advanced Reactor, the multi-functional reactor can be used to generate electricity and desalinate seawater.
Saudi Arabia is seeking new energy sources, such as nuclear reactors, to meet rising power demand.
Riyadh plans to build a dozen or more reactors that can generate 18 gigawatts of electricity by 2040.
President Park and King Salman are also expected to discuss a possible deal to work together in realizing the president′s envisioned creative economy of converging culture with ICT and other sectors to spur growth and create jobs.
With the deal, the two sides are hoping to share policies related to the creative economy concept and join efforts to vitalize innovation-based startups and centers to support them.
Also topping the summit agenda for President Park will be a reconfirmation of Saudi support for her North Korea and unification policies.
