South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will hold a Friday summit with U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru. This will be the first trilateral meeting between the leaders of South Korea, the U.S., and Japan since the Camp David summit in August last year, marking one year and three months.

On Thursday, the South Korean presidential office announced that Yoon will participate in a trilateral summit with Biden and Ishiba during his attendance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima, Peru, from November 15 to 16. Last August, the three leaders agreed to make the trilateral summit an annual event during their meeting at Camp David.

This upcoming summit, the first since Prime Minister Ishiba took office and potentially one of Biden’s last as he nears the end of his term, is expected to focus on maintaining trilateral cooperation.

At a regular briefing on Wednesday, Jake Sullivan, the U.S. National Security Advisor, stated, “Biden will meet with Yoon of South Korea and Ishiba of Japan to celebrate the historic cooperation between our three nations and discuss the importance of institutionalizing the progress we’ve made so that it carries forward through the transition.”

Meanwhile, Yoon departed today to attend the APEC and G20 summits. Upon arriving in Lima, Peru, on Thursday evening, he will participate in the APEC summit and conduct official visits, including a state visit to Peru.

Subsequently, on November 17, he will depart for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to attend the G20 summit. Yoon will also pursue bilateral meetings with various countries, including Vietnam, Mexico, Brunei, and Japan. Additionally, the presidential office announced that he is in close communication with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s team representatives to arrange a meeting.
