Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and East Timorese President Jose Ramos-Horta are set to visit South Korea this week for summit meetings with President Lee Jae Myung, according to a presidential spokesperson. Erdogan's visit, which will span from Monday to Wednesday, marks his first trip to South Korea since 2018 and represents the second meeting between the South Korean and Turkish leaders since Lee's visit to Turkey in November for a NATO summit in Ankara.
During the Tuesday summit, the leaders are expected to discuss various avenues to bolster bilateral cooperation.
