South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has arrived in Beijing for a summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This visit, lasting four days, is Lee’s first to China since assuming office in June last year and the first by a South Korean president since 2019. During his visit, Lee will engage in discussions on various topics including North Korea, economic relations, and cultural exchanges.
Lee is scheduled to meet with Korean residents in China to gather their feedback and assure them of the government’s assistance. He will also hold talks with Xi Jinping on Monday, marking their second meeting in two months. The discussions are expected to cover issues such as improving relations with North Korea and advancing the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Accompanied by a significant business delegation, Lee will participate in a Korea-China economic forum in Beijing to explore opportunities for collaboration in areas like artificial intelligence, green energy, supply chains, and tourism. The visit aims to strengthen ties between South Korea and China, focusing on trade, tourism, and peace efforts on the Korean Peninsula.
