After shaking hands, President Yoon and President Xi were also seen briefly smiling and talking in a video, but the specific content of their conversation was not disclosed.

Attention is focused on whether a separate meeting between President Yoon and President Xi will be held on the occasion of this APEC summit. If President Yoon holds a summit with President Xi this time, it is expected that discussions on future economic cooperation and the Korea-Japan-China summit will gain momentum.

Meanwhile, at the meeting venue, President Yoon also greeted Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in addition to President Xi.
