[앵커]

President Yoon will visit England for two days and one night as his first trip to Britain to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

Then, they moved to New York, the United States, and a summit was held with the United States and Japan to spend the schedule of the United Nations General Assembly.

In the last NATO summit, a Korea-US-Japan summit was held, but this meeting will take the form of a face-to-face meeting between the leaders of the US and South Korea and Japan for about 30 minutes.

The Korea-Japan Summit is the first in two years and nine months since December 2019.

Although attention is being given to whether key issues from the past, such as forced labor under Japanese colonial rule, will come to the table for discussion, the president’s office said, “There is no specific agenda. “

“Although the schedule of the summit is flexible, for now, we have agreed to hold the Korea-US summit and the Korea-Japan summit, and we are adjusting the time.”

President Yoon is also preparing his first keynote speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

He is the 10th member from all the member countries to step up to the podium and speak in Korean, and it seems that he will focus on sharing the philosophy of government management, such as freedom and unity.

In particular, we intend to emphasize our contribution and responsibility to the international community as a ‘global leader country’.

In addition, President Yoon plans to attend events hosted by President Joe Biden to exchange with heads of state, meet with business and academic figures, and hold meetings with fellow Koreans.

In Canada, the last country to visit, a summit has been organized with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

First Lady Kun-hee Kim, who is accompanying her on her visit to the UK, will attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II with President Yoon.

After that, in the United States, we plan to hold a schedule with the couple, including a reception invited by President Biden.
