According to reports, South Korea's Yongsan Presidential Office announced the above schedule to reporters on the 26th.
South Korean President Yoon Seok-wyeh will be invited to attend the NATO summit to be held at the end of June.

He will also be the first Japanese prime minister to attend the meeting.
