​​​​​​Turkiye has been studying the technical ​and economic terms of the Black ​Sea project with state-run Korea Electric Power ⁠Corp, Erdogan said in  an interview with Yonhap News Agency.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said South Korea could become a partner in ​developing Turkiye's planned Sinop nuclear power station.

Ankara would weigh financing, electricity ​costs and benefits to the Turkish economy ​before choosing a partner, he added.

Erdogan is due in Seoul on Monday for a three-day state visit, his ​first to South Korea since 2018.

He ​will hold a summit with South Korean President Lee ‌Jae ⁠Myung on Tuesday, Seoul's presidential office said.

In his interview with Yonhap, Erdogan also identified defence, semiconductors, artificial intelligence and robotics as potential ​areas for ​cooperation and ⁠called for more South Korean investment and joint production in Turkiye.

He ​said the countries were working towards ​a $15 ⁠billion bilateral trade target, while calling for efforts to address an imbalance in South Korea's ⁠favour.

He ​invited South Korean companies to ​participate in Turkish transport and logistics projects linking Asia ​and Europe.
