Moon Embarks on Last Overseas Trip This Year

President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday embarks on his last overseas trip of this year that will take him around the world.

The president makes his first stop in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, where one goal is to help Korea win a contract to build a nuclear power plant. From Thursday to Saturday, Moon will be in Argentina for the G20 summit. The final three days take him to New Zealand on a state visit, the first by a Korean leader in nine years.

Plenty of diplomacy is expected on the sidelines of the G20 as well. Moon will meet with the leaders of South Africa and the Netherlands, both of which are non-permanent members of the UN Security Council.

No plans are confirmed yet for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Cheong Wa Dae says it depends on the two leaders' schedules and will be confirmed during the G20 meeting.
