During the trilateral summit, the three leaders will discuss cooperation over North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, a presidential official said during a press briefing.

Yoon will also address an expanded session at the G-7 summit, which will involve the G-7 members and eight guest nations, to speak on food and energy issues.
