King Charles will welcome the president of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, for a state visit at Buckingham Palace. This will be the first incoming state visit since King Charles's coronation in May. The visit will include a state banquet and various ceremonial events, including a guard of honour and a carriage procession. Yoon Suk Yeol aims to form a closer alliance with the West amid multiple conflicts and threats to humanity. Critics have accused him of suppressing freedom of speech and exaggerating professional credentials.
