Trump is expected to arrive late Nov. 6 and hold summit talks on the following day. The two will hold a joint press conference and a welcome banquet will be held later in the day as Trump has been invited for a state visit by the first U.S. president in a quarter of a century.
Trump will deliver an address to the National Assembly during his visit, making him to the 7th U.S. President to stand at the assembly podium. The last speech was given by Bill Clinton in 1993.
“The two summits will discuss ways to reinforce bilateral alliance, cement ties to solve North Korean issues, establish peace and stability in the Northeast Asian region, and deepen cooperation in bilateral and international level,” said Park Soo-hyun, presidential spokesperson.
“Through the talks, the two will reaffirm personal trust and friendship to solidify bilateral alliance,” he added.
The specific itinerary of Trump’s Asian tour has not been confirmed.
The White House separately announced on Monday that its president will visit Korea on November 7 during his first travel to Asia from November 3 to 14, and he will participate in a bilateral meeting with President Moon.
Trump is speculated to stay in Japan from Nov. 4th to 6th and Korea until 8th.
