British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has formally invited South Korean President Moon Jae-in to an in-person G-7 summit, scheduled for June, via a personal letter, Cheong Wa Dae said on  Friday.

Moon plans to reply it, expressing his commitment to making contributions so that this year’s summit of the G-7 nations can produce a significant accomplishment, according to Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Kang Min-seok.

A presidential official later told reporters that they may construe the message as acceptance of the invitation.

In the letter, Johnson was quoted as pointing out that it is important for the voice of South Korea to be reflected in global efforts to terminate the COVID-19 situation and prevent another pandemic as well as to protect free trade and respond to climate change.

The prime minister earlier stated that Britain would play host to a physical summit session of the G-7 in June, with South Korea, Australia and India invited as guest nations.
