Wang Yi Makes First Seoul Visit in Five Years

Wang’s itinerary centers on a Thursday meeting at the Blue House with President Lee Jae Myung, where the two leaders will discuss the broader trajectory of China-South Korea ties. During the session, Lee intends to convey personal regards to President Xi Jinping, underscoring the importance of top-level communication between the two powers.

Beyond the presidential meeting, the Foreign Minister will engage in substantive talks and a working luncheon with National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac. Their agenda covers the evolving situation on the Korean Peninsula and shifting international dynamics. Before his departure, Wang will hold a separate session with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun to refine diplomatic priorities for the regional summit later this year.
