Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to meet "global leaders and top Korean executives" during his attendance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit in South Korea this month, the U.S. AI chipmaker announced on Sunday.

"Huang will participate in activities that highlight NVIDIA’s efforts to advance technology and foster growth in Korea and globally, focusing on AI, robotics, digital twins, and autonomous vehicles," Nvidia said, without providing further specifics.

The CEO event, running from October 28 to 31, will coincide with the annual APEC leaders' summit, where heads of state from the 21 member countries will convene.

Huang is expected to meet with key executives from Korea’s Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) and SK Hynix (000660.KS), both of which produce memory chips used in AI data centres. Samsung declined to comment, while SK Hynix was not immediately available for comment.

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed he would meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea in two weeks and hinted at the possibility of reaching a trade deal during the meeting.

Last month, China accused NVIDIA of breaching the country’s anti-monopoly law, marking the latest escalation in the ongoing trade war with the United States, which has seen the chipmaker caught in the crossfire.
