Overview
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio will convene G20 foreign ministers in Atlanta on Oct. 30–31 to marshal cooperation on shared economic and security threats.
- South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun will attend the meeting and said he will meet Rubio to raise the unresolved U.S. visa case of ruling party lawmaker Jung Chung‑rae.
- The U.S. State Department says the ministerial will focus on freedom of navigation, energy and food security, and supply‑chain resilience as practical links between security and the economy.
- Jung Chung‑rae's U.S. visa application remains under State Department review and prompted him to change his planned itinerary, a dispute that has political resonance in Seoul.
- The meeting is intended to shape the agenda for President Trump's G20 Leaders' Summit in Miami in December and gives South Korea a forum to advance priorities ahead of its 2028 G20 presidency.
