Guess what? President Lee Jae Myung of the Republic of Korea arrived in Beijing on Jan 4 for his first state visit since taking office, running through Jan 7. It's all about strengthening ROK-China ties and boosting mutual development 🤝.
During an exclusive sit-down at Cheong Wa Dae with China Media Group, Lee emphasized a vision where both countries support each other's growth—imagine green tech partnerships, expanded startup collaborations, and cultural exchanges from K-dramas to Chinese films. 🌏
On the agenda: meetings with the Chinese premier, discussions on AI and renewable energy, and visits to innovation hubs. For young pros in South and Southeast Asia, this could unlock more cross-border internships, hackathons, and joint research opportunities mixing Korean and Chinese tech smarts.
Lee’s visit shows that when Asian neighbors cooperate, we all win—driving fresh opportunities and connectivity across the region. Stay tuned for more updates as this friendship unfolds in 2026 and beyond! 🚀
