According to the report, this is the first time that South Korean President Yoon Sek-yue has held talks with a foreign leader since taking office.
The meeting was held on the 11th day of Yin Xiyue's inauguration, which was also the fastest among the previous Korean governments.
Some commented that the talks will affect the Yin Xiyue government's future relations with the United States, as well as the direction of its foreign policy and national security policy, which is of far-reaching significance.
The report pointed out that Biden is the first foreign leader to visit South Korea's new presidential palace.
Biden took the opportunity of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue Summit to visit South Korea and Japan, the first stop of South Korea's trip.
South Korean diplomatic circles generally believe that this reflects the importance the Biden administration attaches to South Korea as an ally.
The South Korean President's Office has said that it will use the talks to rebuild the South Korea-US alliance.

Earlier, Yin Xiyue announced in her first policy speech in Congress on the 16th that she would discuss with Biden on economic security issues such as strengthening supply chain cooperation through the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework" (IPEF).
Therefore, the progress of the negotiation between the two sides on the cooperation framework has also attracted extensive attention from the outside world.
In addition, this meeting will be the diplomatic debut of the new President of South Korea, Yoon Seok-wyeh, and the first courtesy meeting between Yoon Seok-wyeh and the leaders of the most friendly allies.
The two sides have at least two-and-a-half years of "partnership" before Biden leaves office in January 2025.
The tacit understanding between Yin Xiyue, a former prosecutor, and the veteran "foreign traffic" Biden will also be the focus of diplomatic attention.
