| President Laszlo Solyom of Hungary will visit Korea on Sunday at the invitation of President Lee Myung-bak, the Blue House said. According to Lee’s office, Solyom will stay in Korea from Sunday to next Wednesday. A presidential summit and a state dinner are scheduled for next Tuesday. “At the summit, the two leaders are expected to give a high evaluation to progress bilateral relations marking the 20th anniversary of diplomatic ties,” the Blue House said in a statement. “They will also engage in discussions on ways to promote substantive cooperation, including the enhancement of trade and investment as well as the expansion of exchanges in the fields of culture and science and technology.” President Lee sent former Grand National chairwoman Park Geun-hye to Hungary as a special envoy in August to mark the 20th anniversary of the countries’ diplomatic relations. Solyom will visit historic sites in Gyeongju, inspect environmental institutions on Jeju Island and tour Samsung Electronics. By Ser Myo-ja [myoja@joongang.co.kr] JoongAng daily Hot issue
