South Korean President Park Geun-hye will make a state visit to the United States next week to hold a summit with U.S. President Barack Obama, the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said Sunday.

President Park will arrive in the United States on Tuesday for her second visit to its closest ally since she took office in early 2013, according to her office.

Park will hold her fourth bilateral summit with President Obama in Washington next Friday.

Ju Chul-ki, senior advisor to Park for foreign affairs, told reporters that it will be an opportunity of significance to exchange views between the two leaders about peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and U.S.-South Korea alliance.

During her stay, Park will also visit the Pentagon next Thursday for the first time since her inauguration. She would become the second South Korean President to visit the headquarters of the U.S. defense ministry. Endi
