It was the latest engagement in the South Korean leader’s state visit, following his talks with Rishi Sunak at Downing Street.
Mr Yoon met the UK prime minister to sign a diplomatic accord which he hopes will help “promote freedom, peace and prosperity around the world together”, describing his invitation to Number 10 as “an honour and a privilege”.
His state visit began with a welcome from the King and Queen on Tuesday.
King Charles III said in a banquet speech that Koreans have “created a miracle” in their journey from “wartime devastation” to a thriving country where the “industrial efficiency” he witnessed during a visit in 1992 had become the “epitome” of technological innovation.”
