  • Antony Blinken will travel to South Korea, Japan and France in what will likely be his last overseas mission as the top US diplomat.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to make his final international trip of his current term, visiting South Korea, Japan, and France. His visit to South Korea and Japan, starting on March 17, 2024, aims to strengthen alliances in the Indo-Pacific region, focusing on security issues including North Korea's nuclear threats and China's increasing assertiveness. In South Korea, he will participate in the Summit for Democracy and engage in discussions on bilateral and regional security. Following this, he will attend the G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting in Capri, Italy, and then proceed to France for a NATO foreign ministers' meeting, where discussions will likely include support for Ukraine and NATO's strategic responses to global challenges. This trip underscores the U.S. commitment to its allies and its strategic positioning in global politics as Blinken's tenure potentially nears its end.
