President Moon Jae-in visits NZ

South Korean President Moon Jae-in will be making an official state visit to New Zealand from 2-4 December. 

The trip comes on the back of his participation in the G20 meeting in Argentina.

His agenda here will include discussions on deepening bilateral cooperation, and on creating synergies between his New Southern Policy and New Zealand’s Pacific Reset policy.

Moon and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will also affirm their shared commitment to maintaining peace in the region.
