S Korea’s Moon welcomed at Govt House
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his spouse welcomed South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his wife Kim Jung-sook to Government House on Monday (September 2) in the midst of an official state visit that continues into Tuesday.
A government spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat said this was President Moon’s first official visit to Thailand since assuming his post in May 2017 and the first visit by any South Korean president in seven years.
The aim of the visit is to strengthen the strategic partnership with Thailand in accord with Seoul’s New Southern Policy, by which it is seeking more interaction with all counties in Southeast Asia and cooperation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).
The two leaders will witness the signing of six agreements and memoranda during Moon’s stay.
