Before attending the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, President Moon Jae-in will meet several high-ranking foreign guests according to his 'Olympic Diplomacy' schedule.<br />We connect live to our Blue House correspondent Hwang Hojun for more.<br />Hojun, an extremely busy day for the president....<br /><br /> Mark, you're absolutely right.<br />While the Blue House didn't reveal the exact time and locations of the meetings, President Moon will be holding separate one-on-ones with at least three world leaders today.<br /> According to previous briefings from the Presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae, President Moon is scheduled to hold a luncheon meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres(Gu-TE-res), and separate summit meetings with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte(Rhu-ta) respectively.<br />And of course, before heading to the opening ceremony, President Moon will host a reception, for foreign leaders; including U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, Chinese special envoy Han Zheng, IOC President Thomas Bach, and even Kim Yong-nam, the ceremonial head of state of North Korea. <br /><br /> And I'm glad you mentioned that Hojun... as the high-level delegation from Pyongyang arrives in South Korea very soon...<br /><br /> As a matter of fact, that will be in less than a couple of hours.<br />The high-profile delegation led by Kim Yong-nam will arrive in the South aboard a private jet at around 1:30 p.m, Korea time.<br />The 22-member delegation, including North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's younger sister Kim Yo-jong, will stay in South Korea for three days.<br /> They will be greeted at the airport by Seoul's unification minister Cho Myung-gyun, Vice Minister Chun Hae-sung, the deputy director of the presidential National Security Office, Nam Gwan-pyo.<br />According to the Blue House spokesperson's briefing on Thursday, the high-level North Korean delegation will attend the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games this evening.<br />And President Moon plans to hold a meeting and have lunch with the North Korean delegation on Saturday. <br /> While a detailed schedule and itinerary for the North Korean delegation is yet to be confirmed, it's definitely a landmark event, especially for the liberal South Korean leader, as it was President Moon's election pledge to seek dialogue and reconciliation between the two Koreas.<br />Back to you, Mark. <br />
