President Lee Jae Myung has decided not to go on summer vacation this year, a Cheong Wa Dae official said Friday.
In the past, presidents have often taken their summer breaks in late July or early August.
Lee will spend that time focusing on "sales diplomacy" as he departed earlier Friday on an 11-day trip to San Francisco, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Germany, the official said.
