The South Korean Foreign Minister, Cho Hyun-ah, canceled his visit to Japan, which was originally scheduled to accompany President Lee Jae-myung for the South Korea-Japan Summit Meeting held in Tokyo on the 23rd, and rushed to the United States four days before the South Korea-US Summit Meeting on the 25th.
Cho Hyun-ah said: "Considering that this summit visit to the United States is the first summit meeting between the new governments of South Korea and the United States, it is significant and weighty. To make more careful and thorough preparations, I will first visit the United States and personally conduct a final check on-site with the U.S. side."
Cho Hyun-ah met with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio on the 22nd to hold preparatory consultations for the South Korea-US Summit Meeting.
In the meeting, Cho Hyun-ah emphasized the historical significance and importance of the South Korea-US Summit Meeting, and Rubio expressed the same sentiment.
