South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung said on Tuesday that he began his first official visit to Europe since taking office, as the trip comes at a time of “overlapping global crises” and will help expand cooperation and strengthen Seoul’s diplomatic and economic foundations.

In a post through US social media company X, Lee described his first stop Belgium as a key logistics hub with a strong small and medium-sized enterprise ecosystem, offering opportunities to deepen trade and business ties with South Korea.

He also highlighted growing cultural links, noting that South Korea's K-pop group BTS is scheduled to hold its first standalone concert in Belgium next month, which he said could further strengthen people-to-people ties, particularly among younger generations.
