President Lee Jae Myung is on his way home after attending the G7 summit in Canada, wrapping up his first overseas trip Tuesday.

During his two-day visit, he held bilateral meetings with leaders from nine countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada.

In a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, the two leaders agreed to restore shuttle diplomacy and strengthen ties as the two nations mark 60 years of normalized diplomatic relations.

President Lee also participated in G7 sessions on energy security, where he introduced South Korea’s energy policies.

A planned summit with U.S. President Donald Trump was canceled due to Trump’s early return to Washington amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

The presidential office described the trip as a successful first step toward pragmatic, interest-based diplomacy and said it marked the full restoration of South Korea’s summit diplomacy.
