Donald Trump will be the first US president in 25 years to make a State Visit to South Korea.

While Trump is unlikely to visit the Korean Demilitarized Zone, he would deliver a major policy speech of the trip before the Korean National Assembly on 8 November.

This is the only policy speech scheduled so far during Trump's nearly two-week five-nation Asia trip with stops in Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and Philippines.

"It will be the first State Visit in 25 years by a US president," a South Korean embassy official told a group of foreign journalists.

Since a Korean President can host only one State Visit per country during his term, this visit is particularly meaningful, the official noted.

"Trump's visit is expected to be an opportunity for the two leaders to reaffirm their personal friendship and trust, as well as the two countries' ironclad alliance," the official said.

Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in are expected to discuss strengthening the alliance, developing close coordination to resolve the North Korea nuclear issue, establishing peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia, and increasing cooperation on bilateral and global issues.

Trump and the First Lady are scheduled to arrive in Seoul on 7 November.
