His primary objective during this visit is to deliver a speech, during which he intends to present proposals for reforming the UN to address global challenges and highlight South Korea's contributions to international peace and security.\n\nOn Tuesday, President Lee will address the U.N. assembly, outlining his administration's vision for fostering peaceful coexistence on the Korean Peninsula. While at the U.N. session, he aims to meet with other world leaders, such as U.S. President Donald Trump, to discuss various matters and strengthen diplomatic ties.\n\nBeyond his official duties at the U.N., President Lee will also seek opportunities to engage with the global community. On Wednesday, he will participate in an investment summit alongside economic and financial leaders from the United States and South Korea. This event serves as a platform to discuss potential collaborations and investments between the two nations.\n\nAfter the successful completion of the investment summit, President Lee will depart for Mexico, where he will embark on a state visit.
