President Yun Seok-yeol will attend the NATO Summit, held in Madrid, Spain, for two days from the 29th.

Leaders of NATO partner countries along with Japan, Australia and New Zealand President Yoon, who will attend the meeting in Seoul, is also planning bilateral talks with more than a dozen countries.



The possibility of holding the Korea-Japan summit, which has attracted attention, is not very high, but it is known that the possibility of a so-called summary meeting in which the two leaders talk for about five minutes cannot be ruled out.



However, there is a possibility that the two leaders will meet at the Korea-U.S.-Japan summit.



An official from the presidential office said that the possibility of a South Korea-US-Japan summit is open, and that if the trilateral summit is held, the North Korean issue is expected to become a key agenda item.



The leaders of Korea and Japan will also meet at a meeting of the four countries invited as partners along with Australia and New Zealand.



An official from the presidential office said that there is an official spouse program at the NATO summit, and that President Yoon's wife, Kim Gun-hee, is considering attending the program.
