Seoul, Oct 25 (TIWN) South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his US counterpart Joe Biden are expected to hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Italy or the UN climate summit in Glasgow a senior official said on Monday.
Asked whether the two leaders could meet on the margins of the global summits, the official replied: "I expect President Moon and President Biden to meet at G20 or COP26." The official said, however, no specific timing has been decided, indicating there may be a "pull aside" meeting rather than formal bilateral talks. Before joining the G20 summit, Moon will meet Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday to discuss peace on the Korean Peninsula and efforts to end the pandemic. Moon and the Pope are expected to exchange their opinions on ensuring peace between the two Koreas, the official said.
