President Moon Jae-in will go on a tour of Europe for 9 days and 7 nights from today.



During this tour, President Moon will take part in the G20 Summit in Rome, Italy, and the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, UK.



The first schedule is a meeting with Pope Francis, the second meeting since October 2018.



As Pope Francis has shown his will to visit North Korea, it is noteworthy whether there will be any progress in the discussion at this meeting.



This trip is also expected to meet with US President Joe Biden in some way.



President Biden and President Moon will also attend the G20 Summit and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Glasgow, UK.



When the two leaders meet, they are expected to discuss ways to resume inter-Korean and North American dialogue, including the declaration of an end to the Korean War, which President Moon proposed in his keynote speech at the UN General Assembly last month.



President Moon will make a state visit to Hungary at the end, and will return to Korea on the 5th of next month after meeting with the heads of four countries: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary.
