SEOUL – Set in the majestic surroundings of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, President Lee Jae Myung on the evening of Oct 29 hosted a special presidential dinner for heads of state and government attending Apec Economic Leaders Week
Hosted by Mr Lee from 6.30pm to 8pm local time at the Hilton Hotel Gyeongju, the dinner was attended by leaders from eight countries, including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney, New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Vietnamese President Luong Cuong.
The special dinner was served as a multi-course meal featuring fine Korean ingredients, according to the presidential office.
The menu included dumplings made with truffles and “ogol” chicken from Yeongwol in Gangwon province. Dubbed the Korean black chicken, ogol chicken is a native breed of chicken in South Korea known for its completely black features, including feathers, skin, meat and bones.
Other highlights included sirloin from Gyeongju, known for tender “Hanwoo” beef with rich marbling; pine mushrooms, also from the region; and flatfish from Guryongpo paired with caviar farmed in the pristine waters of Mount Jirisan.
