During the meeting, the two sides discussed details on ways to expand collaboration in the construction of new nuclear plants, along with exploring opportunities in areas such as offshore wind power and critical minerals, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy on Friday.
"Korea boasts commendable expertise in the field of clean energy manufacturing, and we are eager to work together toward advancing our respective industries and promoting clean energy worldwide," Vice Industry Minister Choe Nam-ho said.
"These collaborative efforts will also position both nations as significant players in the global response to carbon neutrality and energy security," he added.
Jeremy Pocklington, the permanent secretary for Britain's energy security department, echoed the view, adding Korea "boasts commendable expertise in the field of clean energy manufacturing."
"Cooperation to tackle the climate crisis and to enhance energy security is to the fore of our global strategic partnership," he added.
