Foreign Minister Cho Hyun plans to visit the United States this week to attend a Group of 20 (G20) foreign ministers' meeting to discuss ways to address global challenges with partner nations and strengthen international cooperation, the foreign ministry said Monday. During his five-day visit to Atlanta starting Thursday, Cho plans to exchange views with his counterparts on major challenges facing the international community, including geopolitical issues, energy and supply chains, and discuss ways to promote cooperation within the G20, according to a ministry official. South Korea is set to assume the G20 presidency in 2028, and the government plans to work closely with member countries to ensure continued progress in discussions on various global issues, he added. Cho is also seeking bilateral meetings with his counterparts from major countries on the sidelines of the gathering. If a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio takes place, they are expected to exchange views on developments on the Korean Peninsula, including North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's recent visit to China,
