Xi is expected to travel to S. Kore in October
(MENAFN) According to reports, Chinese President Xi Jinping is likely to visit South Korea next month to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, a top diplomat indicated Wednesday.
South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, speaking ahead of his departure for Beijing, said he plans to discuss Xi’s potential visit with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi later in the day.
"From what I understand, President Xi will visit South Korea for the APEC summit," he said. "We will have detailed discussions in relation to the matter."
Last month, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sent a personal invitation to Xi, delivered via a special envoy, requesting that the Chinese leader attend the summit.
Cho’s trip to Beijing marks the first high-level diplomatic visit since the start of Lee’s administration in early June. During the two-day visit, he is expected to discuss trade relations and regional cooperation with Chinese officials.
"We will discuss ways to further deepen our cooperation and reduce tensions in Northeast Asia," Cho said.
China and South Korea formally established diplomatic ties in August 1992, with bilateral trade reaching $267.6 billion in 2024.
