The meeting with Biden will be Yoon’s second since taking office in May, following their summit in Seoul that month.
Seoul: South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has arrived in New York to attend the UN General Assembly (UNGA) and hold a series of summits on the sidelines, including a highly anticipated meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The New York visit, the second stop on Yoon’s three-nation swing, follows his attendance at Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral in London and comes ahead of a summit with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa, reports Yonhap News Agency.
The President will stay in the city for four days and deliver his first address to the UNGA on Tuesday before engaging in bilateral meetings with his US counterpart Joe Biden, Kishida and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, among others.
