President Lee heads home after completing visits to the U.S. and Mexico

President Lee Jaemyung departed on his way back home on the 26th, local time, after completing his trip to the United States and Mexico. President Lee departed from Felipe Ángeles International Airport in Mexico City that day and is scheduled to arrive at Seongnam Airport on the 27th via Anchorage. During this trip, President Lee held a summit with President Sheinbaum on the occasion of Mexico's first state visit in 16 years and finalized negotiations on the revision of the Investment Guarantee Agreement, which had continued for seven years. Earlier in New York, he attended the 81st UN General Assembly and, in his keynote address, expressed his willingness to resume North KoreaU.S. dialogue and to engage in multilateral talks for a transition to a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. He also held a summit with U.S. President Trump for about 30 minutes and discussed key issues in KoreaU.S. cooperation, including fuel for nuclear submarines, enrichment and reprocessing, cooperation in the shipbuilding industry, and the transfer of wartime operational control. After returning home, domestic issues are expected to follow, including the reappointment of a candidate for Supreme Court justice, response to the DMZ explosion incident, and the selection of successors for the chief of staff and policy chief.
