South Korean Ambassador to Bangladesh Lee Jang-keun said on Monday that many Korean companies “will be very interested” in finding opportunities in Bangladesh, including nuclear energy generation, as it has the world’s top level technical capability in almost all the areas.
“I think many Korean companies will show interest. We’ve already collaborated with the United Arab Emirates (UAE),” he said while responding to questions from diplomatic correspondents after visiting Panam city and Baro Sardar Bari.
Korea, ranking the 6th in the world in terms of the total capacity of nuclear power generation, is a “world leader” in the peaceful use of nuclear energy from research to electricity production.
The Ambassador said he is not sure about the financial capability as they do not mobilize huge amounts of financial resources.
