The event will take place amid controversy over Yoon's intention to move the presidential office from the Cheong Wa Dae compound to the defence ministry building, which Moon regards as a waste of public money.

The event will be held 19 days after Yoon was elected the president of South Korea with 48.56 per cent of votes. This will mark the longest period between a presidential election in the country and a meeting of newly elected and ongoing leaders. (ANI/Sputnik)
