Ivanka Trump is reportedly going to get a lavish, First Lady-style welcome at the Winter Olympics
Tehran (KNA) - South Korea is reportedly preparing a lavish reception for Ivanka Trump's visit next week, the kind that would usually be reserved for a first lady of head of state.
Officials are said to be planning to roll out the red carpet ahead of the Winter Olympics - with the ultimate goal of lobbying her father, President Donald Trump, to visit North Korea on a diplomatic trip.
Seoul plans to host Ivanka Trump as if she were First Lady, South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo reported on Monday.
She is visiting Pyeongchang on February 25 for the closing ceremony of the Olympics.
According to the newspaper, officials plan to flatter Ivanka by having South Korean President Moon Jae In accompany her to watch a skiing competition, and by getting First Lady Kim Jung Sook to show her round the country.
Ivanka is a keen skier herself, and has hit the slopes at least twice since her father took office.
