문대통령, 27일부터 체코•아르헨•뉴질랜드 순방…G20 참석
It's only been a couple days since President Moon returned from his trip to Southeast Asia.
He'll be taking flight again, come next Tuesday.
An 8-day trip to Argentina, the Czech Republic and New Zealand.
Hwang Hojun fills us in on his itinerary.
President Moon has a long flight ahead of him.
He's heading to South America next week... for the first time since his inauguration to take part in the annual G20 summit.
"From November 27th to December 4th, President Moon Jae-in will attend the Group of Twenty summit hosted in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He also plans to visit the Czech Republic and New Zealand during that time as well."
Before heading to the City of Fair Winds, President Moon will go to the Czech Republic on Tuesday for a one-night layover.
He's expected to sit down with Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis and give some encouragement to Korean nationals and Korean business leaders there.
From there, it's on to Buenos Aires, and from November 29th to the first of December, he will take part in the G20 summit and many other bilateral meetings with foreign leaders on the sidelines.
In fact, the Blue House has said that it's pursuing a possible meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Blue House spokesperson Kim Eui-kyeom said that with the U.S. considering January for another summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, it's likely that President Moon will share with his U.S. counterpart his thoughts and the South Korean government's stance on the matter.
While in Buenos Aires, President Moon will hold a bilateral summit with Argentinian President Mauricio Macri,... the first summit of its kind in 14 years.
And on the final leg of his trip, President Moon will make a three-day state visit to New Zealand from December 2nd to the 4th, where he will attend a summit with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and a meeting with Governor-General Patsy Reddy.
Which will most likely be the South Korean President's last foreign tour this year,... President Moon is expected to pursue international support during those eight days in improving the relationship between the two Koreas by not only solidifying the 2nd Pyeongyang-Washington summit but also North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's return visit to Seoul.
