A delegation led by South Korea's president visiting Saudi Arabia inked a preliminary deal Tuesday to explore a project to develop a potentially cleaner form of energy.
The development comes even as Saudi Arabia remains South Korea's top supplier of crude oil. The visit was the second stop on a Mideast tour by South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his wife, who were greeted on the tarmac by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and an honour guard marching band.
