Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong will meet Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg here today to a boost bilateral partnership, Samsung officials said.
This is the first time that the Facebook CEO will have a face-to-face meeting with the Samsung heir.
"Zuckerberg will visit Samsung's main office in Seocho-dong, southern Seoul, Tuesday. The two will discuss ways to strengthen their strategic partnership that covers content and manufacturing," said a Samsung official.
The duration of the meeting has yet to be decided, according to the official.
It's unknown whether Zuckerberg will also meet with LG Electronics Vice Chairman and CEO Koo Bon-joon. Koo met Google CEO Larry Page in Google Korea's office in Seoul during Page's recent visit to Korea.
Facebook officials in Seoul declined to confirm the visit.
Zuckerberg will visit the Blue House early on Tuesday for a meeting with President Park Geun-hye. The creation of more jobs via information technology (IT) will be the main subject discussed.
The CEO is expected to meet Choi Moon-ki, the minister of the nation's future planning and ICT ministry.
