South Korea's Lee Jae Myung to Visit US and Mexico, Meet Sheinbaum at UN

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is set to travel to the United States and Mexico from September 21 to 27, his office announced, combining attendance at the United Nations General Assembly with a bilateral summit in Mexico.

The Blue House said Lee will hold talks with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum during the visit, making Mexico a key stop on a trip that spans both North America and the UN's annual gathering of world leaders.

Beyond the formal programme, Lee is also pursuing a series of meetings on the margins of the UN gathering. According to the presidential office, he is seeking sit-downs with the leaders of the United States and Australia, among other countries.

The trip underscores Seoul's push to maintain high-level diplomatic engagement across multiple fronts, using the UN Assembly as a platform for bilateral outreach while separately deepening ties with Mexico.

No further details on the agenda or the specific timing of the sideline meetings were immediately provided.
