The heads of South Korea’s four major technology and industrial groups—Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Euisun, and LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo—are likely to visit China in early 2026 as members of a South Korean economic delegation, according to people familiar with the matter. South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said recently that Seoul is working to arrange a leaders’ meeting between South Korea and China in early next year, which could pave the way for the delegation’s visit. Media reports say the economic mission will be organized by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) and is expected to include representatives from around 200 South Korean companies. Specific details regarding the itinerary and final participant list may depend on whether the South Korea–China summit takes place. [Icsmart, in Chinese]
