Lee pays respects to patriots of Mexico ahead of summit with Sheinbaum

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung paid tribute to the fallen heroes of Mexico on Thursday, coinciding with his upcoming summit with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico City. At the Altar a la Patria in Chapultepec Park, a prominent national monument, Lee placed flowers and observed a moment of silence for the country's national defenders and military heroes.

He highlighted artificial intelligence and supply chains as key areas of potential collaboration between the two countries.
