FM Cho leaves for US for G20 meeting, talks with Rubio

Foreign Minister Cho Hyun has departed for the United States to attend the Group of 20 (G20) foreign ministers meeting and hold discussions with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on critical bilateral matters, according to The Korea Times. Cho will be in Atlanta until Monday, where the G20 gathering will focus on addressing geopolitical crises, energy and food security, supply chains, and other global challenges.

South Korea is set to take on the presidency of the G20 in 2028, aiming to maintain continuity in discussions on global issues. During his visit, Cho is expected to meet with Rubio to discuss developments on the Korean Peninsula, including North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's recent trip to China and the potential for renewed dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington, as well as ongoing bilateral issues.

Kim Jong-un visited the Chinese border city of Dandong on Saturday, as both nations seek to strengthen their ties.
