Republic of Korea President Lee Myung-bak will make his first visit to Chicago Friday.
Lee arrives in Chicago Friday afternoon after an official state visit Thursday at The White House to discuss a wide range of economic and security issues.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel will meet him at O'Hare International Airport.
"President Lee's visit will highlight the strong commitment to education and innovation, close partnership and deep economic ties between Chicago and the Republic of Korea," said Emanuel in an issued statement. "It will also be an opportunity to celebrate the rich bonds of friendship between Chicagoans and the Korean people."
A welcome dinner will be hosted at the Chicago Cultural Center in President Lee's honor Friday night.
