President Park Geun-hye will visit Turkey, the Philippines and Malaysia from Nov. 14 to 23 to attend four multilateral summit meetings: the G20 forum, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, the ASEAN+3 forum and the East Asia Summit (EAS).
As the first leg of her trip, President Park will participate in the G20 leaders’ meeting that will be held from Nov. 15 and 16 in Turkey. In the two-day meeting, she will discuss measures to boost policy cooperation among G20 countries.
The G20 member countries’ discussion will focus on the so-called “3Is” -- implementation, investment and inclusiveness -– in order to solve problems related to low growth and high unemployment, and to boost growth potential.
President Park will then visit Manila to attend the APEC summit that will take place from Nov. 18 and 19. The theme this year is “Building Inclusive Economies, Building a Better World.”
While in Manila, President Park will attend a dialogue with the APEC Business Advisory Council, and on Nov. 18 will have an unofficial meeting with the Pacific Alliance that Peru, Chile, Mexico and Colombia recently joined. The next day, she will attend both morning and afternoon sessions of the APEC Leaders Meeting where attendants will share their views on inclusive growth, the integration of regional economies and the building of sustainable, resilient communities.
Finally, President Park will attend the ASEAN+3, EAS and Korea-ASEAN meetings while in Kuala Lumpur on Nov. 21 and 22. On Nov. 22, she will attend the EAS forum to discuss issues involving the Korean Peninsula and other regional issues. At the Korea-ASEAN summit, she will propose a future vision for the ASEAN Community that will be launched at the end of this year, as well as measures to strengthen cooperation between Korea and ASEAN.
