Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn is set to brief global economic leaders on Korea's industrial reform and innovation at the World Economic Forum on Monday in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin.

Hwang arrived in Tianjin on Sunday for a five-day trip to China that included meetings with Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang.

At the "Summer Davos" forum in Tianjin, Hwang is slated to explain South Korea's "fourth industrial revolution," according to the prime minister's office.
