S. Korean leader to attend G20 summit in Germany
South Korean President Moon Jae-in will attend the upcoming G20 summit in Germany, his office Cheong Wa Dae announced Tuesday.
The new South Korean leader will depart for Germany next Wednesday, two days after his return from a trip to the United States where he is set to hold a bilateral summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Moon will first head to Berlin where he will meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel for bilateral talks, Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Park Soo-hyun told reporters.
He will then head to Hamburg, Germany where he will be joined by leaders of 19 other developed and developing countries around the world, including the United States, Japan and China.
The annual meeting of the 20 global leaders will be held next Friday and Saturday.
Moon will return home on July 10. (Yonhap)
