First lady Kim Keon-hee is expected to briefly exchange greetings with U.S. President Joe Biden during a state dinner to be held Saturday after his summit with President Yoon Suk-yeol, an official close to Kim said Friday.
Biden is scheduled to arrive in Korea Friday for a three-day visit on the first leg of his first trip to Asia that will also take him to Japan next week. First lady Jill Biden is not traveling with him.
Under diplomatic protocol, it may be inappropriate for Kim to accompany Yoon because the U.S. first lady is not accompanying Biden, but she is expected to drop by the welcoming dinner at the National Museum of Korea and meet briefly with Biden, the official said.
"I understand that first lady Kim will meet and greet Biden briefly," the official said.
It is unclear whether Kim will attend the entire welcome dinner. (Yonhap)
