SINGAPORE: Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will visit South Korea from Wednesday (Oct 29) to Sunday and meet President Lee Jae Myung in Seoul.
This is Mr Wong’s first visit to South Korea since he became prime minister. Mr Lee became South Korea’s president in June after his predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol was ousted by the country’s Constitutional Court.
Mr Wong, who is also the finance minister, will attend the 32nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Meeting (AELM) in Gyeongju before making an official visit to the capital city at the invitation of Mr Lee.
Singapore and South Korea commemorate 50 years of diplomatic relations this year.
In Gyeongju, located in the southeast of the country, Mr Wong will participate in AELM sessions and the APEC Business Advisory Council dialogue.
