HE Minister Al-Kaabi hailed the solid ties and the long-term partnership between Qatar and Korea in the field of energy and expressed the mutual desire of both countries to further build and expand on the partnership for many more decades.

According to HE Minister Al-Kaabi, hydrogen has an important role to play in the energy transition towards an affordable, reliable and clean energy system, but only if relevant competent entities, such as QatarEnergy and H2Korea, join hands to achieve this goal.

H2Korea is a public-private consultative body established by the Korean government in 2017 to promote and develop the hydrogen industry, aimed at achieving an early hydrogen economy society in the Republic of Korea. They also aim to act as a bridge between the public and the private sector by exploring policy tasks, supporting businesses, international cooperation projects, and public relations projects.
