00:00 King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to host South Korean President Yoon Suk-il at a glittering state visit banquet.
00:06 King Charles and Queen Camilla will host a glittering banquet as the highlight of a state visit by the South Korean president.
00:12 His Excellency Yoon Suk-il, accompanied by First Lady Kim Ki-yeon,
00:16 he has accepted an invitation from His Majesty to visit Britain in November, Buckingham Palace announced today.
00:22 The visit comes amid continuing tensions between South Korea and neighboring North Korea.
00:26 Leader Kim Jong-un visited Russia earlier this month to meet President Vladimir Putin.
00:31 The meeting has raised concern that Pyongyang could receive sophisticated weapons technologies by Moscow.
00:36 Last year, the British government began preparations to negotiate an enhanced post-Brexit free trade agreement with South Korea,
00:44 the 10th largest economy in the world.
00:46 Ministers said the new deal would upgrade the UK's existing trading agreement with South Korea, which is currently worth £14.3 billion.
00:54 South Korea is already the UK's 20th biggest goods trading partner, but it is hoped that this will grow.
01:00 Charles and Suk-il met in September last year when they attended a reception at Buckingham Palace the night before Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.
01:07 The King also sent a message of condolence following the deadly crowd surge in Itaewon in October last year.
01:13 The monarch has met with several South Korean presidents in the past, but last visited the East Asian country in 1992.
01:19 State visits take place at the request of the British government and reflect their global strategy over issues such as trade, security, and culture.
01:27 They are hosted by the monarch both as head of state and as a means of harnessing their power of soft diplomacy.
01:33 Further details of the state visit program will be announced nearer the time.
01:36 King Charles and Queen Camilla announce next state visit, find out which nation they'll host at Buckingham Palace.
01:42 The news follows the King and Queen's three-day state visit to France, rescheduled from the spring due to pension-related riots.
01:48 King Charles and Queen Camilla have a party to plan.
01:51 Early on Tuesday, Buckingham Palace announced that the King, 74, and Queen, 76, will welcome Yoon Suk-il, the President of South Korea, and his wife, First Lady Kim Kiyoon-hee, to the UK for a state visit this fall.
02:04 The date and further details are expected to be announced in due course.
02:08 The President of the Republic of Korea, His Excellency Yoon Suk-il, accompanied by Mrs. Kim Kiyoon-hee, has accepted an invitation from His Majesty the King to pay a state visit to the United Kingdom in November.
02:19 A statement said, "The King and Queen will host the state visit at Buckingham Palace."
02:23 King Charles and Yoon met at Buckingham Palace around this time last year.
02:27 They connected at the reception for heads of state and official overseas guests held at the Royal Residence on the evening before Queen Elizabeth's state funeral.
02:35 The history-making monarch died at age 96 on September 8, 2022, and her funeral at Westminster Abbey and committal service at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle were held on September 19.
02:47 Like many visiting dignitaries, Yoon signed a book of condolence at Church House in London that day.
02:52 In October 2022, King Charles sent a message of condolence to the South Korean leader following the deadly crowd surge in Itaewon, which The New York Times reported killed over 150 people.
03:03 In his former royal role as the Prince of Wales, a title now held by his eldest son-in-law Prince William, Charles attended the state banquet at Buckingham Palace for Roh Moo-hyun, the former president of South Korea, and his wife, Mrs. Roh Moo-hyun, during a state visit hosted by Queen Elizabeth in 2004.
03:21 Charles also traveled to the Republic of Korea with Princess Diana in 1992.
03:26 State visits are an important part of the British royal family's diplomatic duties, organized to strengthen relationships with other nations around the world.
03:33 Foreign monarchs, presidents, or prime ministers are invited to visit the king on the advice of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
03:40 The royal family's website explains, "The program for outward state visits can vary widely, but incoming visits usually feature a few regular events."
03:48 According to Royal UK, "Visits typically begin with a ceremonial welcome from the king and other members of the royal family at Horse Guards Parade.
03:56 Guests are then invited to inspect a guard of honor before moving to the palace in a carriage procession with military escort before a Mark V event that evening, a state banquet."
04:05 The glittering dinners are held in the ballroom of Buckingham Palace and historically seem to stipulate a white-tie dress code where tiers are welcome.
04:12 About 150 people are invited on the basis of their cultural, diplomatic, or economic links to the country being hosted, Royal UK says,
04:21 and the monarch makes a speech and proposes a toast to the visiting head of state, who does the same.
04:26 From there, state visits usually last a few days.
04:29 The guest of honor will meet with the prime minister and other government heads, possibly attending another banquet hosted by the Lord Mayor and City of London Corporation to meet more local leaders of commerce and industry.
04:39 King Charles hosted the first state visit of his royal reign in November 2022, welcoming South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to the UK.
04:47 The visit included all the traditional trappings, from a formal welcome by Kate Middleton and Prince William to a guard of honor inspection and sparkling state banquet at Buckingham Palace, where Princess Kate and Queen Camilla wore tiaras for the first time of the new reign.
05:00 Due to the Covid pandemic, the state visit was the first hosted by the British royal family since then-US President Donald Trump visited the UK in 2019.
05:10 A royal source confirmed that Ramaphosa's three-day stay was on the calendar before Queen Elizabeth died peacefully on September 8.
05:17 News of Jung's upcoming state visit comes just a few days after King Charles and Queen Camilla were feted at a state banquet during their three-day state visit to France.
05:25 Last Thursday, the King and Queen were guests of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, at the historic Palace of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris on the first night of their trip, which ran from September 20 to September 22.
05:38 Versailles was a French royal palace for much of its history but is now a public museum.
05:43 Around 150 guests, including prominent figures from both Britain and France, attended the glittering occasion.
05:50 In a warm and personal toast, King Charles recalled past visits to France made by his mother, Queen Elizabeth, and father, Prince Philip.
05:57 "My parents' first official visit together was to France in 1948, shortly after their wedding," Charles said.
06:03 "By all accounts, they made quite a splash, dancing till the early hours at the glamorous Chess Career in the Rue Pierre-Cheron, serenaded by Edith Piaf.
06:12 I suspect it may have left an indelible impression on me, even six months before I was born.
06:17 'La Vie en Rose' is one of my favorite songs to this day."
06:20 The brief tour, which also included stops at the Arc de Triomphe, Ruby World Cup Village, Notre Dame, and an organic vineyard near Bordeaux, celebrated Britain's relationship with France, "marking our shared histories, culture and values," King Charles' Deputy Private Secretary Chris Fitzgerald said in a palace briefing.
06:37 The trip was originally planned for March and postponed due to protests over changes in pensions for French workers.
06:42 Fitzgerald said that the September program remains very similar to that which was planned for March, meaning the themes of the visit are also, for the most part, unchanged.
