President Moon Jae-in will meet with top-level officials from the U.S., China and Japan next week as he is set to be on a diplomatic roll during the PyeongChang Olympics. 

In a news briefing on the president's Olympics diplomacy on Friday, the presidential office's new spokesperson, Kim Eui-kyum, said Moon will sit down for talks with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence next Thursday, or the eve of the Winter Games.
 
On that same day, the president will also meet with Chinese Communist Party Politburo Standing Committee member Han Zheng at the presidential office.  
 
Next Friday, Moon will hold back-to-back summits with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the Olympic city of Pyeongchang -- after a luncheon with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in Gangneung, the sub-host city of the Olympics.

Prior to those meetings, the South Korean president will hold a summit with Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid at the presidential office on Tuesday, followed by summits with the Canadian Governor General Julie Payette and Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Moon will hold a summit with Alain Berset, the leader of Switzerland, before holding a luncheon meeting with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

During the sporting event, the South Korean president will also meet the heads of state from Latvia, Norway, Slovenia and the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon will meet with the prime ministers of Estonia and Finland and the president of the UN General Assembly.
