Prime minister to meet with Chinese officials during WEF meeting in Dalian 

Prime Minister Kim Min-seok will travel to China next week to attend a World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting and hold bilateral meetings with senior Chinese officials, his office said Friday.

During the three-day trip starting Monday, Kim is scheduled to deliver a special address at the annual WEF meeting, also known as the Summer Davos Forum, to be held in the Chinese coastal city of Dalian.

Kim also plans to meet with senior Chinese officials and attend economic and other events, the office said, without elaborating on whom he is scheduled to meet with, including whether Kim's Chinese counterpart, Premier Li Qiang, is among them.

"Prime Minister Kim's trip is expected to provide an opportunity to outline our government's innovative economic vision to the international community and strengthen international cooperation while at the same time carrying on the trend of recent high-level exchanges between South Korea and China to accelerate mutually beneficial cooperation," the office said.
