Republic of Korea President Yoon Suk-yeol will make an official state visit to Peru on Saturday, November 16, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.

The protocol ceremony will be held following an invitation from Peruvian Head of State, Dina Boluarte, the Peruvian government agency noted in a statement.

This will be the Asian leader's first state visit to Latin America, as he arrives in Lima for APEC Peru 2024.

"During the visit, both heads of state, accompanied by their work teams, will review the progress on strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established in 2012," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out in a statement.

The leaders will also adopt instruments to further boost cooperation in digital government, information and communication technologies (ICT), defense industries, tourism, knowledge exchange on critical mineral supply chains, and hydrobiological products trade.


It should be noted that his state visit to Peru is part of a series of visits by other dignitaries, including 
His Majesty Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam, who held a working meeting with President Dina Boluarte at the Government Palace on Tuesday.

Peru is hosting APEC for the third time after the 2008 and 2016 editions.
