Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in is set to embark on his first U.S. visit since leaving office on May 5th. This marks his inaugural trip to the United States post-presidency.

On May 6th (local time), Moon will participate in a roundtable discussion with international relations experts at the RAND Corporation, where he is scheduled to deliver a keynote address. Nancy Stout, RAND’s deputy director, along with other prominent figures, will be in attendance to engage in discussions on the rapidly evolving global order and inter-Korean relations.

This visit comes at the invitation of two prestigious U.S. policy think tanks: the RAND Corporation and the Pacific Century Institute (PCI).

During his stay in Los Angeles, Moon plans to visit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and inspect the Rain Victory ship, a vessel of historical significance.

The Rain Victory holds a special place in Korean War history, having rescued thousands of refugees during the Hungnam evacuation, a critical operation conducted during the January 4th retreat.

Yun Gun-young, a Democratic Party lawmaker who previously served as Moon’s chief of staff for state affairs, revealed that this visit will coincide with the release of the English edition of Moon’s post-presidential memoir on foreign policy and security, titled “From the Periphery to the Center.” Yun added that they plan to prioritize the distribution of this English edition to U.S. universities, research institutions, and libraries, aiming to broaden the international understanding of South Korea’s recent diplomatic history.
