The US says that the leaders of both countries will celebrate the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between their nations in a White House state dinner.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol will go on an official trip to the US on April 26 where he will meet with President Joe Biden, the White House said on Tuesday.
The visit comes as tensions in the Asia Pacific ramp up amid increasing military provocation by Washington and Seoul, in addition to Japan, against North Korea and China.
Earlier today, Kim Yo Jong, DPRK’s leader Kim Jong Un’s sister, warned it would be a “clear declaration of war” if its missiles were shot down during test launches over the Pacific Ocean.
The statement came shortly after the US deployed a B-52 strategic air bomber in a joint air drill with its East Asian ally.
