South Korea’s President Lee Jae-myung has arrived in Beijing for his first official trip to China since assuming office, as Seoul seeks to stabilize relations with its key economic partner amid rising regional tensions.

Lee touched down in the Chinese capital on Sunday, beginning a four-day visit that will include a meeting with President Xi Jinping on Monday and an official trip to Shanghai. The visit marks the first time a sitting South Korean president has traveled to China since 2019.
