Chinese President Xi Jinping will receive South Korean President Lee Jae-myung on a state visit starting Sunday. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This visit is being carried out with the aim of further strengthening relations between China and South Korea. In particular, special attention is being paid to developing close ties with Seoul against the backdrop of tensions with Japan.

According to analysts, the meeting will mainly focus on expanding economic cooperation and developing tourism. This visit is the second meeting between Xi and Lee within the last two months, demonstrating China's interest in deepening strategic cooperation with South Korea.

Analysts believe that China aims to show that relations with South Korea are mutually beneficial. During the meeting, more than 10 agreements are expected to be signed in the fields of economy, business, and climate.

According to South Korean sources, cooperation issues will be discussed especially in the fields of technology, critical minerals, and the green industry. Since China is South Korea's largest trading partner, Seoul is striving to strengthen these ties.

Additionally, dialogue with North Korea and regional security issues are also planned to be discussed at the meeting. South Korea aims to strengthen diplomatic relations with North Korea and involve China as a mediator in this process.

Furthermore, opportunities for cooperation in artificial intelligence and advanced technologies are also expected to be considered.
