US-China Summit Meeting May Take Place at Busan Airport

South Korean media outlet Dong-A Ilbo reported on the 27th that a US-China summit meeting may be held on the 30th at the VIP lounge of Busan's Gimhae Airport.

Citing sources within the South Korean government, Dong-A Ilbo reported that given the schedules, travel routes, and security concerns of the two leaders, all parties are coordinating to arrange a meeting at the airport's "Wing Peak Lounge".

The report states that whether this meeting will make progress and result in a "Busan Agreement" is attracting much attention.

It is understood that, as US President Trump will visit South Korea on the morning of the 29th and return home on the afternoon of the 30th, while Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit South Korea on the 30th and return home on November 1st, Gimhae Airport is suitable for the arrival and departure of both leaders' planes in every respect.

In 2005, prior to the APEC summit held in Busan, South Korea built the "Wing Peak Lounge" within the Air Force's 5th Air Mobility Wing at Gimhae Airport to receive foreign leaders. Currently, the "Wing Peak Lounge" is equipped with reception rooms and auxiliary rooms which can be used as venues, and has previously hosted foreign leaders visiting Busan.
