Britain's Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, will arrive in Korea Sept. 29 to promote trade and investment ties, the British Embassy said Thursday.

Prince Andrew will visit Korea as the government's special envoy on trade and investment, the embassy said.

During his weeklong stay, the Duke of York, who is fourth in line to the British throne, will meet with business leaders and senior government officials, and attend a seminar on climate change, it said.

It will be his third visit to South Korea following previous ones in 2001 and 2005.
