South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol and his United States counterpart, Joe Biden, are holding their first summit in the South Korean capital, with their talks set to focus on boosting ties amid concern over North Korean provocations, including warnings of an imminent nuclear or missile test, Qazet.az reports.

Saturday’s summit at the People’s House in Seoul comes a day after Biden arrived in South Korea, on the first leg of an Asian tour that also includes a stop in neighbouring Japan.
