President Yoon Suk Yeol departed for Anchorage, Alaska, on September 26 after completing his state visit to the United States and Mexico.
President Yoon and First Lady Kim Hye-kyung left from Felipe Ángeles International Airport in Mexico City aboard Air Force One. They will stop in Anchorage without any official schedule before heading back to Seoul.
This visit marked the first state visit to Mexico by a South Korean president in 16 years, at the invitation of President Claudia Sheinbaum.
During the final leg of his trip, President Yoon attended the '2026 Mexico K-Expo,' where he explored the presence of South Korean companies in Latin America, including K-beauty, K-food, and K-content. He also emphasized cultural exchange by visiting a random play dance event with local K-pop fans.
The Blue House stated that the state visit to Mexico has laid the groundwork for a significant leap in the strategic partnership between South Korea and Mexico, key players in Latin American politics, economy, and diplomacy.
