South Korea's president, Japan's prime minister depart for UN General Assembly in US
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's departure was delayed by Typhoon Dujuan.
South Korea's president and Japan's prime minister are heading to the United States for the annual United Nations General Assembly gathering in New York, with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's departure delayed by Typhoon Dujuan.
The UN General Assembly's high-level session draws heads of state and government from around the world each year, providing an opportunity for leaders to deliver addresses and hold bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the formal proceedings.
Takaichi's trip was affected by Typhoon Dujuan, which caused a delay to her departure, though further details on the revised timing of her travel or itinerary changes were not specified.
Leaders attending the gathering typically use the period to engage in a series of diplomatic meetings beyond their formal UN addresses, covering a range of bilateral and regional issues.
No further details were provided on the specific agenda items South Korea's president or Japan's prime minister plan to raise during their time in New York.
