[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), will hold his first meeting with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on the 9th (local time).

NATO announced on the 8th that Secretary General Stoltenberg will visit the UK for one day and meet with Prime Minister Sunak.

Following the meeting with Prime Minister Sunak, Secretary General Stoltenberg will also meet with Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace. In particular, he plans to visit a training facility for Ukrainian soldiers in the UK together with Defense Secretary Wallace.

As the UK, a NATO member country, has been leading support for Ukraine, it is expected that they will discuss the latest developments in the conflict and urge the new UK government to continue its support and cooperation for Ukraine.

However, NATO did not provide specific reasons for Secretary General Stoltenberg's visit to the UK.
