President Lee travels to the U.S. to attend the UN General Assembly... Interest in a meeting with Trump

President Lee Jaemyung departed for the United States on the 21st to attend the UN General Assembly and make a state visit to Mexico. This trip will run from the 21st to the 27th, and the key schedule is participation in the highlevel session of the UN General Assembly in New York. In his keynote address to the UN General Assembly on the 22nd, President Lee plans to present his vision for peace and coexistence on the Korean Peninsula, the direction of UN reform, and South Korea’s role. A meeting with UN SecretaryGeneral António Guterres is also planned, and he is expected to request the international community’s cooperation on the Korean Peninsula issue. During the visit to the U.S., attention is also being drawn to the possibility of contact with U.S. President Donald Trump. Observers say that current issues between South Korea and the U.S., such as investment in the U.S. and the dispatch of troops related to the Hormuz Strait, could be discussed. President Lee will then make a state visit to Mexico from the 23rd to discuss cooperation measures in areas such as energy, mineral supply chains, and artificial intelligence.
