中国外交部长王毅计划于8月19至20日访问韩国[1]。根据韩联社报道，王毅将与韩国外交部长赵显举行会谈，并可能与韩国总统李在明会面[1]。中韩两国自年初以来一直在协调此次访问日程，近期已就具体时间达成共识[1]。
访韩行程的确定经历了波折。此前因韩国电子入境表中的台湾标示问题导致行程延宕，中国政府对访问持保留态度[1]。中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆曾就此表示抗议，希望韩国政府恪守一个中国原则[1]。韩方于4月10日修改了电子入境卡[1]。此前，李在明于今年1月对中国进行了国是访问[1]，王毅则于4月访问了朝鲜[1]。
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is expected to visit South Korea on August 19–20, according to South Korean media reports [1]. During the visit, Wang will hold talks with South Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-woo and may meet with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung [1]. Wang is also scheduled to meet with South Korea's Minister of Unification Jeong Dong-young [1].
Negotiations over the timing of Wang's visit have been ongoing since the beginning of the year, with both sides recently reaching consensus on the schedule [1]. However, the visit had faced delays earlier due to a dispute over Taiwan's representation on South Korea's electronic entry form [1]. After South Korea removed the "CHINA (TAIWAN)" option from its electronic travel declaration form in late March, the Chinese government expressed reservations about proceeding with the visit [1]. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun lodged a protest, urging South Korea to abide by the one-China principle [1]. South Korea subsequently modified its electronic entry card on April 10 [1].
This planned visit would follow President Lee Jae-myung's state visit to China in January [1]. Wang Yi previously visited North Korea in April [1].
