King Charles III hosted a state banquet for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol at Buckingham Palace, Nov. 21, 2023.
Earlier in the day, Yoon and the South Korean First Lady Kim Keon-hee received a ceremonial welcome with military honor guards, by King Charles III, Queen Camilla, the prince and princess of Wales and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak among others in London.
The ceremony was followed by a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace, where the king and queen hosted a private lunch for President Yoon and first lady Kim.
The president and the first lady laid a wreath at the Korean War Memorial later in the day, marking the 70th anniversary of the armistice that ended fighting in the conflict.
During Yoon’s visit, he and Sunak are expected to sign an agreement covering cooperation in defense and technology, including artificial intelligence.
Britain hosted the first international AI Safety Summit this month, and South Korea intends to hold a follow-up event next year.
Britain also plans to invest in South Korean semiconductor manufacturing as part of international efforts to diversify the supply of key computer components.
The two leaders are also set to boost defense cooperation, including joint naval patrols to enforce U.N. sanctions on North Korea.
