문재인 대통령, 잠시 후 한-인도 비즈니스 포럼 참석,
It's Day 2 of President Moon Jae-in's state visit to India.
Part of his six day tour of South Asia and Southeast Asia.
Our Hwang Hojun who is traveling with the liberal leader is standing by on the line.
Let's connect to him right now.
Hojun, give us the latest.
Daniel, so for today, the keyword for President Moon's itinerary is 'Business' and 'economic cooperation' between Seoul and New Dehli.
In just about half an hour, President Moon will attend the South Korea-India Business Forum, where he will meet with business leaders from both countries.
He will likely explain his vision of how South Korea and India can cooperate to strengthen their economic ties, while encouraging Korean companies to explore the Indian market to create new growth engines.
Afterwards, the South Korean President is going to make a rare visit to Samsung Electronics' local factory to mark the recent completion of its construction.
It is the largest cell phone factory in India, and even though President Moon's bilateral summit with the Indian Prime Minister is scheduled for tomorrow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join the occasion.
Samsung Electronic's vice chairman Lee Jae-yong will also attend.
This will be the first time President Moon will meet with Lee since his inauguration, let alone attending an event hosted by the South Korean tech giant.
It will also be vice chairman Lee's first time attending a public event since he was released from jail in February, after serving nearly a year behind bars for his involvement in the corruption scandal that led to the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye.
The Blue House stressed that President Moon's attendance at the opening ceremony of Samsung's new plant does not carry any political meaning.
Rather, it said it's simply meant to encourage Korean businesses and demonstrate Seoul's determination to expand cooperation in investment and the manifacturing business with India.
President Moon will end his second day by meeting with Korean local residents.
