Kim Tae-hyo, the first deputy chief of the National Security Office, held a briefing today and said President Yoon will hold summits in the Philippines and Singapore, respectively, to discuss ways to strengthen bilateral relations and cooperate.
He will then move to Laos and attend summits with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and ASEAN to establish a "comprehensive strategic partnership" and attend a series of summits with ASEAN+3, that is, three countries, Korea, China, and Japan.
An official from the president's office said they are also discussing a Korea-Japan summit on the premise that Japan's new Prime Minister Ishiba will attend the ASEAN meeting, and that a three-way summit between Korea, China and Japan is unlikely to be pursued this time.President Yun
is actively engaged in sales diplomacy, especially in the Philippines, by supporting Korean companies to win orders for large infrastructure projects, and will speak on the theme of the vision of unification of the Korean Peninsula at the Singapore Lecture hosted by the Singapore Government-affiliated Research Institute.
Park Chun-seop, senior presidential secretary for economic affairs, explained that ASEAN is one of the world's top five economies and is one of the top three export markets, accounting for 17% of our exports, and that it is rich in core minerals and raw materials.
He also said that the importance of strategic matters is growing in terms of economic security and that the two countries have a complementary industrial structure, and that this trip is expected to serve as an opportunity to further expand the ASEAN-Korea economic cooperation relationship.
