President Park is expected to ask the Mexican government to allow South Korean companies to advance into the energy, transportation and public infrastructure sectors. The leaders will also discuss increasing bilateral cooperation in developing IT and science technologies.

About 12,000 Koreans currently reside in Mexico.
