President Lee Jae-myung arrived in Frankfurt, Germany, on August 2, following a tour of the United States and three South American countries: Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.
The Air Force One carrying President Lee, his wife Kim Hye-kyung, and the accompanying delegation landed at Frankfurt International Airport at 8:40 a.m. local time.
Welcoming the President were Kim Eun-jung, the Consul General in Frankfurt, and Jo Yoon-sun, the president of the Korean Association in Southern Germany, along with Markus Dorn, Deputy Chief of the Hessian State Chancellery, and Benedict Kuhn, Chief of Staff to the Hessian Prime Minister.
After a luncheon meeting with the Korean community in Frankfurt, President Lee will conclude his 7-night, 11-day tour and return home.
This visit to Germany is not an official trip with a scheduled summit but rather a stopover on his way back.
During the luncheon, President Lee is expected to discuss the current status and challenges faced by the Korean community in Germany and outline the government's support for overseas Koreans.
