韩国和土耳其周二签署协议，探讨土耳其能源项目的融资，因为韩国寻求参与在黑海沿岸锡诺普建设该国计划中的第二座核电站。
South Korea and Turkey signed an agreement on Tuesday to explore financing for Turkish energy projects, as Seoul seeks a role in building the country’s planned second nuclear plant at Sinop on the Black Sea coast.
该谅解备忘录由韩国出口进口银行和土耳其核能公司签署，此前韩国总统李在明与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安在首尔举行会谈。
The memorandum of understanding was signed by the Export-Import Bank of Korea and Turkey Nuclear Energy Inc following talks between South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Seoul.
土耳其能源部表示，这两个机构将研究可能的资金安排，并成立工作组交换信息。其公告未具体说明资金数额。土耳其尚未为锡诺普项目选择合作伙伴。
The two organisations will examine possible funding arrangements and set up a working group to exchange information, Turkey’s energy ministry said. Its announcement did not specify a funding amount. Turkey has yet to choose a partner for the Sinop project.
李在明表示，核电站合作正在“顺利”进行，现场评估和联合工作组已经开展。他说，新的融资协议将支持韩国公司参与土耳其核项目。
Lee said cooperation on the plant was progressing “smoothly”, with site assessments and a joint working group already under way. He said the new financing agreement would support South Korean companies seeking to take part in Turkish nuclear projects.
最新协议建立在2025年11月土耳其核能公司与韩国国营韩国电力公司（简称KEPCO）签署的核合作谅解备忘录基础上。
The latest agreement builds on a nuclear cooperation memorandum signed in November 2025 between Turkey Nuclear Energy Inc. and South Korea’s state-run Korea Electric Power Corporation, known as KEPCO.
埃尔多安周一接受韩联社采访时表示，韩国是锡诺普项目的潜在合作伙伴。
In an interview with Yonhap published on Monday, Erdoğan described South Korea as a potential partner for Sinop.
他表示，已与韩国电力公司（KEPCO）完成了初步可行性研究，技术和经济评估仍在继续。他称，安卡拉将在做出最终决定前，考虑融资安排、发电成本以及对土耳其经济的效益。“我们正在考量与其他国家的接触，并结合国家利益审视所有可能的选择，”埃尔多安对韩联社表示。国防、能源与贸易两国领导人还同意扩大联合国防生产和技术合作，并探索两国企业在海外市场合作的机会。韩国总统府表示，这将建立在土耳其“阿勒泰”主战坦克项目现有合作的基础之上。
He said preliminary feasibility studies had been carried out with KEPCO and that technical and economic assessments were continuing. Ankara would consider financing arrangements, electricity generation costs and benefits to the Turkish economy before making a final decision, he said.“We are taking into account our contacts with other countries and examining all possible choices in light of our national interests,” Erdoğan told Yonhap. Defence, energy and tradeThe two leaders also agreed to expand joint defence production and technology cooperation, and explore opportunities for companies from both countries to work together in overseas markets. That would build on existing cooperation on Turkey’s Altay main battle tank programme, South Korea’s presidential office said.
土耳其能源部表示，单独的能源和矿业协议涵盖可再生能源、氢能以及关键矿产合作。两国将设立能源转型论坛，每年举行会议审查联合项目。
Separate energy and mining agreements cover renewable energy, hydrogen and cooperation on critical minerals. The countries will establish an energy transition forum to meet annually and review joint projects, Turkey’s energy ministry said.
埃尔多安称，双边贸易额去年超过110亿美元（98亿欧元），领导人讨论了如何实现现有的150亿美元（134亿欧元）目标。韩国总统府表示，会谈还涉及贸易不平衡、进口限制和海关延误问题。两国同意将共同自由贸易协定委员会提升至部长级，并签署了单独的投资合作谅解备忘录。
Erdoğan said bilateral trade exceeded $11 billion (€9.8bn) last year and that the leaders discussed how to reach their existing $15 billion (€13.4bn) target. South Korea’s presidential office said the talks also addressed trade imbalances, import restrictions and customs delays. The countries agreed to raise their joint free trade agreement committee to ministerial level and signed a separate investment cooperation memorandum.
这是埃尔多安自2018年以来首次访问韩国。两国于1957年建立外交关系，2012年成为战略伙伴。
Erdoğan’s visit is his first to South Korea since 2018. The countries established diplomatic relations in 1957 and became strategic partners in 2012.
