British, American, Canadian tour… Contrast with ‘Lee Jun-seok’s absence’ at the time of departure from Spain
President Yoon Seok-yeol left the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada on a tour on the 18th.
President Yoon, wearing a gray tie, departed from Seongnam Seoul Airport this morning with his wife, Kim Gun-hee.
Kim was wearing a black two-piece outfit.
As she attends the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, which is strictly observed at Westminster Abbey in London on the 19th (local time), it seems to be a costume considering the atmosphere of ‘condolence diplomacy’.
On that day, President Yoon climbed the trap while holding hands with Mrs. Kim.
Before entering the private plane, President Yun waved to the farewells, and Mrs. Kim bowed her head to greet them.
Chairman Chung, Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min, Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyeon-dong, Chief of Staff Kim Dae-ki, and Senior Political Affairs Officer Jin-bok Lee said goodbye to President Yoon.
Colin Crocs, British Ambassador to Korea Colin Crooks, US Ambassador to Korea Philip Goldberg, and Acting Canadian Ambassador to Korea Tamara Mowini also went on a farewell ceremony.
Before boarding, President Yoon shook hands with the farewells including Chairman Jeong, smiling.
Chairman Chung is considered to be the eldest brother of the Chin Yun group.
This is in contrast to the fact that when President Yoon made his first foreign visit to Spain to attend the NATO summit on June 27, former President Lee Jun-seok did not attend.
At that time, among the leaders of the People’s Power, floor leader Kwon Seong-dong and senior floor leader Song Eon-seok were seen off.
After the controversy over ‘Lee Jun-seok passing’, former CEO Lee ‘received’ President Yoon, who returned from Seoul International Airport in the daytime on July 1st, ‘surprisingly’.
At the time, the two smiled and shook hands.
President Yoon will visit London, England, New York, USA, and Toronto and Ottawa, Canada, in order for 7 days and 5 nights.
After attending the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey in London on the 19th (local time), she moves to New York, USA, and gives a keynote speech at the UN General Assembly on the 20th.
A Korea-US-Korea-Japan summit is also being promoted.
Then, on the 23rd, in Ottawa, Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will hold a summit between Korea and Canada.
President Yoon instructed Minister Lee, who was sent back on the same day, to thoroughly prepare and inspect for typhoon ‘Nan Madol’, Deputy Spokesperson Lee Jae-myung of the Presidential Office said in a written briefing.
