President Lee Jae-myung will meet with Princess Anne, the sister of King Charles III of the United Kingdom, and her husband at the Blue House tomorrow afternoon (July 14).

The Blue House announced today that they "plan to discuss ways to promote friendly cooperation between South Korea and the U.K."

The office further explained, "Discussions will be held on strengthening bilateral cooperation in various fields, including high-level exchanges, trade and investment, science and technology, and culture, as well as on major regional situations between the two countries, which are global strategic partners."

Princess Anne's visit to South Korea marks her first in 8 years, following her previous visit in 2018 as a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
