South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump’s daughter during her visit to the U.S. 

During a regular press briefing on Thursday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Noh Kyu-duk confirmed Kang and Ivanka Trump would sit down together when asked if such a meeting might be on the cards. 

The ministry has yet to disclose the details of the meeting, including the purpose and the date. There's speculation the two will exchange opinions regarding the forthcoming summits between the two Koreas and between the U.S. and the North. 

According to Noh, during her three-day visit to Washington from Thursday, Kang will also meet with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, who is serving as the acting secretary following the dismissal of Rex Tillerson, to discuss pending issues between Seoul and Washington, including the North Korean nuclear issue. 

Noh said Kang will also meet with U.S. Congressional leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senator Cory Gardner who is the chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia and the Pacific, and Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. 

Another South Korean official said Kang also plans to meet with U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross possibly to discuss U.S. tariff measures on South Korean steel products.
