President Lee Jae Myung will visit a Philadelphia shipyard owned by Hanwha Group after his summit with U.S. President Donald Trump next week.
Presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said Thursday that Lee will visit the Hanwha Philly Shipyard in Philadelphia during his trip to the United States.
According to the spokesperson, Lee is scheduled to arrive in Washington on Sunday afternoon local time and then attend a dinner meeting with fellow South Koreans based in the U.S.
