Moon to visit New York for talks with Trump, U.N. General Assembly
- 6 years ago
It's only been a few days since he returned back from Pyeongyang, but South Korean President Moon Jae-in already has another week filled with diplomacy.
He will embark on a trip to New York this afternoon to attend the UN General Assembly, and hold a number of bilateral meetings on the sidelines, including one with his U.S. counterpart.
Hwang Hojun gives us the details.
First, he briefed the South Korean people, immediately after his return from North Korea last week.
And now, President Moon Jae-in will have a chance to address a global audience on the results of his three-day summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
President Moon will be in New York from September 23rd to the 27th to attend the 73rd UN General Assembly.
While this will be the second time President Moon has appeared at the international forum since his inauguration, his presence in New York this time will likely draw a lot more international attention since the 2018 Inter-Korean Summit Pyeongyang is still fresh in people's minds.
On Monday morning, he will first attend an event to raise awareness of the global drug abuse issue, co-sponsored by 28 countries.
He is scheduled to hold a bilateral summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in the afternoon to likely brief his U.S. counterpart on the results of the Pyeongyang summit, and quite possibly relay a personal message from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Presidents Moon and Trump are also expected to sign their countries' revised Free Trade Agreement.
Soon after, a separate meeting is scheduled with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, which will mark their fourth encounter since President Moon took office.
On Tuesday, President Moon will give a policy speech to about 250 U.S. experts and opinion leaders from thinktanks including the Council on Foreign Relations, the Korea Society, and the Asia Society, where he is expected to discuss the strides that have been made in inter-Korean relations over the past year,... and his vision for future steps that South Korea and the U.S. can take together to achieve irreversible peace on the Peninsula.
President Moon will deliver a keynote speech at the UN General Assembly, once again, on Wednesday afternoon; he will likely return back to Seoul on Thursday night Korea time.
Separate one-on-one meetings with other government leaders will also likely take place.
