Biden, Moon expected to meet next week

Seoul: 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.

Moon and Biden are scheduled to participate in the G20 summit next week, as well as the COP26 climate talks on November 1 and 2, when world leaders will assess achievements since the Paris agreement to limit global warming,



reports Yonhap News Agency.

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.
