South Korea hopes to build an additional four nuclear reactors in the United Arab Emirates, the country's ambassador said on Monday.   

In December, the UAE awarded a South Korean group a deal to build and operate four initial nuclear reactors in the country.

'We hope to build four more reactors, but so far there is no agreement on this,' Chung Yong-chil, South Korean ambassador to UAE told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference.   

He also reaffirmed South Korea expected to win additional deals worth $20 billion for services and maintenance after the construction of the first four reactors was completed. - Reuters
