His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, today received the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, and his accompanying delegation, currently on an official visit to the country.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid welcomed the guest and expressed hope that the visit would result in strengthening friendly relations of cooperation between the two countries and partnerships at various levels.

H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, were also present at the meeting.
