South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-you will hold his first summit with U.S. President Joe Biden in Seoul on May 21st, only 11 days after his inauguration in May.
A statement by his spokesperson on Thursday said the President-elect welcomed Biden’s visit to South Korea from May 20th to 22nd.
It said the two leaders will be discussing the bilateral alliance, cooperation on North Korea, economic security, and global issues, adding it will further develop a “comprehensive strategic alliance” between Seoul and Washington.

The statement emphasized that the upcoming South Korea-U.S. summit is to be held in the shortest time after the inauguration of a new Korean government.
It said the two countries will closely communicate through diplomatic channels for Biden’s successful visit and the Presidential Transition Committee will make full preparations.

The White House announced on Wednesday that President Biden will visit South Korea and Japan from May 20th to 24th.
It said the trip will advance the Biden administration’s “rock-solid” commitment to a “free and open Indo-Pacific” and U.S. treaty alliances with the two countries.
It added President Biden will hold meetings with his Korean and Japanese counterparts and discuss ways to bolster security relationships, and economic ties, and expand their close cooperation.
The Biden administration has been stressing the importance of bilateral and trilateral cooperation with its key allies in Asia — South Korea and Japan, apparently to counter China’s influence.
After staying in Korea, Biden is scheduled to visit Tokyo for a meeting with the leaders of the Quad group of Australia, Japan, and India.
