State visit by the President of the Republic of Korea to Frankfurt am Main, August 2026
On 2 August 2026, VIP Mobile supported the official visit to Frankfurt am Main by the President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Jae Myung. His stay in Germany marked the conclusion of his multi-day overseas tour of the USA and South America and was intended, in particular, to facilitate exchanges with the Korean community in Germany and to strengthen German-Korean relations. Frankfurt was the final stop on his itinerary before his return to Seoul.

For this high-profile state visit, VIP Mobile provided two armoured Audi A8 L Security vehicles, complete with experienced security personnel and professional chauffeurs. Both vehicles met the highest standards required for international state and personal security transport and were seamlessly integrated into the security plan drawn up by the German authorities.
The police carried out a bomb check on the two armoured vehicles.
The highest safety standards before setting off
Several hours before the presidential aircraft arrived, the two armoured saloon cars were thoroughly inspected by the relevant police authorities. The security measures included a comprehensive check for bombs and explosives in the vehicles. The engine compartment, passenger compartment, underbody and all security-relevant areas were inspected before the vehicles were cleared for the convoy.
Only once all checks had been successfully completed were the vehicles able to be incorporated into the official state motorcade. These procedures comply with international security standards for the protection of heads of state and demonstrate the close cooperation between VIP Mobile and the German security authorities.
Discreet and professional transport
Following his arrival at Frankfurt Airport, President Lee Jae Myung, together with his delegation and the First Lady, was met by VIP Mobile. The two armoured vehicles ensured safe and discreet transport between the airport, event venues and official engagements.
The chauffeurs deployed have many years’ experience in diplomatic transport services and in dealing with international state guests. Precision, absolute discretion and the highest standards of professionalism were paramount throughout the entire operation.
Background to the visit
The visit to Frankfurt marked the end of the South Korean President’s eleven-day trip abroad. During the trip, Lee Jae Myung visited, amongst others, the USA, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. The aim of the trip was to strengthen economic cooperation, expand international partnerships in the fields of technology, energy and critical raw materials, and hold talks with leading companies in the AI sector.
The stopover in Germany was used as an opportunity to meet with representatives of the Korean community in Frankfurt and to highlight the close ties between Germany and the Republic of Korea. Both countries are regarded as highly innovative industrial nations with a long-standing economic partnership and shared interests in the fields of high-tech, the automotive industry and future technologies.
