SEOUL -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in will make a three-day trip to Vietnam next week, followed by an official visit to the United Arab Emirates.

In Hanoi, Moon will hold a summit with his Vietnamese counterpart, Tran Dai Quang, and meet with other Vietnamese leaders, including Nguyen Phy Trong, general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Vietnam is one of South Korea's key trading partners in Asia, with South Korean exports to Vietnam standing at 47.7 billion US dollars last year, or 8.3 percent of the country's total exports. Moon regards Vietnam as a key partner for his New South Policy aimed at expanding ties with Southeast Asian countries.

Moon will visit UAE next Saturday at the invitation from the crown prince of Abu Dhabi.
