문 대통령, 트럼프 대통령 초청으로 21-24 1박4일 방미
President Moon Jae-in is flying to Washington again next week.
The trip comes ahead of the North Korea-U.S. summit in June.
The South Korean President will meet key U.S. foreign affairs and security figures, as well as U.S. President Trump.
Cha Sang-mi outlines what to expect from the trip.
The Blue House has revealed President Moon Jae-in's Washington summit schedule for next week.
At a press briefing on Friday, the Blue House National Security Office deputy director announced that the President is to arrive in Washington on Monday evening, local time.
He will then spend the night at the Blair House, an official VIP guesthouse at the White House.
The next morning, Moon is scheduled to meet with Washington's key figures in charge of foreign and security policies.
As for the most anticipated part of his trip -- a sit-down with Trump -- the Blue House confirmed, that the meeting will be just between the two leaders, with no attendees other than the interpreters.
After the one-on-one, Moon and Trump will move to an expanded meeting over a business lunch.
After his meetings with Trump, President Moon will visit the Korean Legation in Washington to commemorate the 130th anniversary of its opening and the 136th anniversary of the 1882 signing of the United States-Korea Treaty of Peace.
Moon will touch down back in Korea early Thursday Korean time.
The NSC deputy director expressed his wish for a successful Seoul-Washington summit:
"We hope President Moon's visit this time will serve as a chance to strengthen the friendship and ties between the heads of South Korea and the U.S. and develop the two countries' alliance and partnership for the future."
Over the past year, the two leaders have kept close touch, holding 4 summits and 11 phone conversations.
This summit is the fifth meeting between South Korea and the U.S. since President Moon came to office.
