SEOUL, Sept. 21 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung was set to embark on a two-nation trip Monday that will first take him to New York, where he is set to address the United Nations General Assembly before heading to Mexico for a state visit, a presidential official said.

During his attendance at the U.N. High-Level Week, Lee is expected to seek contact with U.S. President Donald Trump through various forms, according to National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac. He is set to deliver a speech at the U.N. session on Tuesday (U.S. time).

In his speech, Lee plans to propose ways to reform the U.N. to tackle global issues and outline South Korea's contributions, while also presenting his administration's vision of seeking peaceful coexistence on the Korean Peninsula, Wi noted.

"Lee also plans to hold contacts with heads of state of the U.S., Australia and other major countries ... to continue close exchanges and discuss ways to cooperate, aimed at expanding the country's national interests," the official said.

Following his trip to the United States, the president will make a state visit to Mexico from Wednesday at the invitation of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

The next day, Lee and Sheinbaum will hold summit talks, a luncheon and a joint press announcement, with Seoul seeking to strengthen cooperation with the country in trade, investment and supply chains, Wi added.

Lee will depart Mexico on Saturday to return home the following day.
