National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac said on Friday that Lee will meet Trump on Wednesday afternoon and Xi on Saturday of next week and that both Trump and Xi will pay state visits to South Korea.

Wi said that Lee will chair the APEC summit set for next Friday and Saturday and deliver an address at the opening ceremony of the APEC CEO Summit next Wednesday morning. He will then participate in various events related to Trump’s state visit in the afternoon.
