APEC D-100 days... Will Trump, Xi Jinping and Ishiba visit South Korea? = South Korea

With 100 days to go until the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, the leaders of South Korea, the United States, China and Japan
There is growing expectation that the summit will bring together a number of important figures, including President Xi Jinping of China, who is expected to visit South Korea in the future.
It was mentioned by foreign media. If Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba also visits Gyeongju, it is expected that a four-nation summit diplomatic battle will unfold under the leadership of President Lee Jae-myung.
According to the political world on the 22nd, the possibility of President Xi Jinping visiting South Korea has been rapidly increasing since the beginning of this month. Jeong Gyu-jae, former chief editor of the Korea Economic Daily, who had lunch with President Lee Jae-myung on the 11th of this month,
The editor-in-chief, Zheng, who has ties to Chinese diplomatic officials, said on his YouTube channel that "there is a high possibility that President Xi will attend APEC." His remarks have since been frequently used within and outside the government.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) quoted multiple diplomatic sources as saying, "The United States has been in the spotlight for a while now, and there are rumors that President Trump will be attending, which is raising expectations even further.
"President Trump may meet with President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit," the report said, "or he may visit China before APEC or meet with President Xi in Gyeongju, South Korea."
The South Korean government also seems to be considering President Trump's attendance as a strong possibility. The presidential office previously reported that President Trump met with the US at the G7 summit in Canada in June and the NATO summit in the Netherlands in July.
A bilateral meeting between the two leaders was also considered, but progress has been slow due to uncertainty over the practical benefits.
It is still unclear whether Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will attend. The Liberal Democratic Party's defeat in the House of Councillors election on the 20th of this month has greatly shaken the prime minister's political position.
After three consecutive election defeats, Prime Minister Ishiba's leadership has been challenged, and there is speculation that he may not participate in the election in order to settle domestic politics.
The prime minister was one of the earliest G7 leaders to hold a summit with President Lee Jae-myung, and has been working hard to revive the Korea-Japan shuttle diplomacy.
The Lee Jae-myung administration is accelerating preparations for the APEC summit.
Prime Minister Kim Min-Seok, who currently serves as the Prime Minister, has visited Gyeongju many times since taking office and personally inspected the venue, accommodations, and press corps facilities.
The government has been traveling back and forth between the two countries and sharing related information on social media, apparently with the aim of transparently informing the public of the government's preparations while at the same time raising tension among the relevant departments.
